I get:

tk> .f332.cv334 create bitmap  140 140  -bitmap "@\\0dev\\Celtk\\x1.xbm"

That works. Then changing the name to something it will not find, I get:

     Error: Tcl error: error reading bitmap file "\0dev\Celtk\xoxox1.xbm"

Here is my theory: the string does not look like a filename path to Tcl on
Linux, so it looks for a /named/ bitmap. ie, yeah, tcl has a mechanism
(perhaps only in the C api, I do not know) to associate an arbitrary name
with a bitmap being loaded from a file. Then all your code just uses that
name, and you only have to change the filename in one  place to get everyone
to use a different bitmap.

Anyway, that would explain the "not defined" complaint. It also makes sense
since you are (I might have warned you earlier) the first Linux user.

The bad news is that I am also ignorant of Linux. :)
