Could you try running the following over your ssh
X session?

First, save these commands into a file called type.tcl.

% cat type.tcl 
entry .e
pack .e

% wish type.tcl

(I am assuming that you have wish installed somewhere
on your server)

That should bring up a little entry box that
you can type into.

Now run the version of wish that got installed
in your SN install dir.

$INSTALL/bin/wish type.tcl

The same entry box should appear and you
should be able to type into it with no
problems.

Try that and tell us what results you get.
