It could be that what happened to me is happening to you - I assume
that you're talking about the appbar or the file window when you say
"the tkwindow" - my problem was that the appbar was appearing off the
right-hand edge of the screen; since it makes itself "sticky", I
couldn't just find it on another screen.
What I had to do to fix it was edit the file ~/.tkdesk/_layout - I
found every spot that had an X windows geometry setting (something
like "470x100+340+60") and changed the last part of the geometry
setting to "+10+10" - this moved everything to the top-left corner,
but did fix things for me, since I then just moved everything to where
it ought to be. If that doesn't work, you may want to just delete your
~/.tkdesk directory, unless you've done lots of customizations you
need to save.
