Subject: Problem with Tk::Tile::Dialog#client_frame

Hi

I'm trying to write a gui program using Ruby and Tk/Tile.

I'd like to do something like:

    require 'tk'
    require 'tkextlib/tile'

    d = Tk::Tile::Dialog.new(:type=>'okcancel', :message=>'Enter name:')
    Tk::Tile::Entry.new(d.client_frame).pack
    d.show

- but I get: 

RuntimeError: wrong # args: should be "::ttk::dialog::clientframe dlg"
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1694:in `_invoke_without_enc'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1694:in `_ip_invoke_core'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1730:in `_tk_call_core'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1758:in `tk_call_without_enc'
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tkextlib/tile/dialog.rb:54:in 
`client_frame'

It seems that Tk::Tile::Dialog#client_frame launches an incorrect command 
against tcl.

It works at the Tcl/Tk level. This script (which I've constructed with a 
considerable effort, as I don't speak tcl):

    package require tile
    ttk::dialog .dlg -type okcancel -message "Enter name:"
    set cf [ttk::dialog::clientframe .dlg]
    ttk::entry $cf.entry  
    pack $cf.entry

does what I want. (Sorry for posting tcl on this list :-))

Could it be a version problem? 
I'm running ruby 1.8.6, Tcl8.5a5, Tk8.5a5, Tile-0.7.8. All compiled from 
sources on a debian unstable box.
