With tcl/tk8.5 the lset command seems to behave differently. When changing the background color through Edit->Preferences, the changes are applied, but new dialogs, such as View->New view... barf with Error: unknown color name "{#ffffff}" Additionally when closing gitk, and starting it up again, a bad value has been saved to ~/.gitk, preventing gitk from running properly; it fails with Error in startup script: unknown color name "{#ffffff}" ... This commit changes the color dialogs to not handle variables containing just a single color value as tcl lists, which fixes the issue. Tested with tcl/tk8.4 and 8.5.
