I attach a patch to configure that corrects this - at least this works
for me on Linux powerpc64. I am using the configure options

            --enable-tcl-qstat \
            --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib64 \
            --enable-gui

I do not use --with-tclx; for reasons I've never figured out completely
that does not work for me.

I actually like xpbsmon ... for small clusters it gives a quick overview
of how busy the cluster is. For a 1000 node cluster it is certainly useless.
And yes, you should not click on any of the node buttons - this does
not work anymore with tcl/tk versions 8.4 and later; it crashes xpbsmon.
