Sorry about that.
ruby -v gives
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-11-06) [i386-mswin32]
ruby -r tk -e "p Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL" gives
"8.3.2"
Your suggestion to use option_var.trace('w') worked.
Thank you very much!

Not enough. 
Ruby's version (result of 'ruby -v') and Tcl/Tk's version (result of 'ruby -r tk -e "p Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL"') are required.

It is 1.8.2-preview3, isn't it?
If without patch, combination of this version and Tcl/Tk8.3.x
has a trouble.
Please see [ruby-talk:119637].
If you can compile 1.8.2-preview3 by yourself,
I recommend you to compile it with ActiveTcl8.4.7.
Then, you'll be able to use some Tk extensions on your Ruby/Tk.
You can see the screen shot, when some tkextlib demos are running,
on my article of "Rubyist Magazine vol.0003"
<http://jp.rubyist.net/magazine/?0003-RubyTkMovement>\.

I'm glad to hear that.

It is 1.8.2-preview3, isn't it?
I'm using the latest version of the Windows one-click installer.
If without patch, combination of this version and Tcl/Tk8.3.x
has a trouble.
Please see [ruby-talk:119637].
If you can compile 1.8.2-preview3 by yourself,
I recommend you to compile it with ActiveTcl8.4.7.
Then, you'll be able to use some Tk extensions on your Ruby/Tk.
I'd like to stay away from building Ruby myself if possible. Since the trace
workaround you suggested is doing what I need, I think I'll wait for a future
version of the one-click installer to get a newer version of ActiveTcl.
You can see the screen shot, when some tkextlib demos are running,
on my article of "Rubyist Magazine vol.0003"
<http://jp.rubyist.net/magazine/?0003-RubyTkMovement>\.
I'm looking forward to the English translation of your article.
Thanks for your help!
