There are no errors because your widget was created, but not yet visible.
There are a couple of things missing.

First, you need to create a new toplevel.  You also need to pack the widget to 
get it displayed.  For example, I just tried this to verify it still works.

(gdb) tk toplevel .x
.x

(gdb) tk button .x.b -text "Hello World"
.x.b

(gdb) tk pack .x.b
