Unfortunately, that takes me back to the original situation. That is,
the blank window appears along with the dialog window. It also ends
badly with what looks like the same error messages(below). Maybe focus
needs to be established. I'm really using this code to design a dialog
for the larger application program, so I don't need to get too fussy
about how it ends. I just want to see that I've got the elementary
widgets place properly. <br>

Thats the result of withdraw I think
<br>
<br>
Try reversing the calls:
<br>
<br>
root = Tk()
<br>
dialog = DialogPrototype(root)
<br>
root.withdraw()
<br>
<br>
That way the withdraw happens after the dialog is created.
<br>
root should not then be garbage collected since it is still
<br>
referred to by the Dialog parent attribute.
<br>
<br>
I think... :-)
