I thought I had already fixed the working examples so
kbd.xbm was in the same directory as gui.tcl (e.g. examples).

But that doesn't solve anything for after install and gui.tcl
and supporting pieces DEFINITELY has to be part of the
install image.


I was thinking of something like checking for it in the
local build path and then in the system directory.
For some applications I have worked on, we had a "find
on a path" routine which conceptually might be helpful here. 
Then the gui.tcl or whatever can source the right thing.

It is probably also helpful for gui.tcl to have a subroutine
to load the .so file.  That is a common mess also.
