It is a Python program.  Python-tk is Tkinter, which is a
gui creation library.  Also, the program uses Imagemagick
and some of the netpbm utilities for image conversion.
No harm in installing the depends.  After installing, the
program there will be an entry under "Graphics" in the
main menu.

BTW, if the program won't run after installation, try
running it from the command line and report back any
errors.  The program is "young" and might still have
hidden bugs.  Use this command to run the program:
/opt/makeface-tk/makeface-tk.py

Yea, test groups are the best.

I have that same problem.  Never tried to fix it.  I didn't
see it as a big problem since I don't usually display the
headers unless I am looking for something.

Some of the free usenet providers place restrictions on
headers such as size and/or content.  That may be the root
of your problem.
