The BadWindow/BadDrawable message is triggered by using the "wm withdraw"
command within the tcl script, and this always happens at the end of the
setup dialog (when the dialog is withdrawn). If you look at the error
messages you will find that there is one pair less if you use -g since one
tcl window less (the setup dialog) is withdrawn in that case. This is what
Eric meant. The other error messages come from other dialogs that you close
during the game or during exit.

This is a known problem. I don't think it's related to the BadDrawable
messages.
