Pure Tcl/Tk equivalent of TkDesk?

Two things are currently happening:
1. Learning Tcl/Tk - some success, enough to be tantalizing
2. Moving from WinXP to Linux - Debian seems likely target as acquaintances
interested in similar projects use Debian or Ubuntu

Haven't seen a Linux desktop environment yet that I really liked. I was considering
writing my own 'thingy' (essentially an application launcher with other features)
as a learning tool. Following a chin of links from a post on a Debian list I found
TkDesk ( http://wiki.tcl.tk/7697 ). It seems to have desired features. BUT it is Linux specific and too many things that would have to be tweaked are in C (my C experience is HELLO_WORLD.C on a KL-10 >~ 35 years ago ;/

http://wiki.tcl.tk/1928 seems to indicate my desires are sane.
Comments/suggestions?

TIA
.
