[Therion] Therion 5.3.16 - Error opening th and th2 files

[Bill Gee]

Hi Stacho -

If I name the thconfig file on the xtherion command line, then it will open.  If 
I run xtherion with no command line options, then use File-Open to get a 
thconfig file, it will fail.

Running tk_getOpenFile inside wish works.  It opens a file browser dialog box.

I reverted one of my test systems to therion 5.3.15.  The problem still 
exists.  There is no "make uninstall" target, so I just deleted the three 
binary files (loch, therion, xtherion) from /usr/local/bin and then compiled 
and installed 5.3.15.

I have version 8.6.3 of both Tcl and Tk.

So far all of my testing has been on Fedora 21 systems.  I have a Centos 7 
test system which has never had Therion installed.  Tomorrow I will give it a 
try.

Thanks - Bill Gee
