I have no idea if this is i3 specific

seems to be, i've been unable to reproduce the crash with Metacity window manager.

possibly related to #358

As I wrote on #358:

Are other programs using Tk for their GUI (ie Python+Tkinter) running into this? I can imagine it's more of an issue with Tk and the window manager than with Pd specifically.

I tried to reproduce this problem on the same system with an other window manager - XMonad.
Result:

  • problem doesn't appear on XMonad
