[Idle-dev] Slow close?

[Bruce Sherwood]

Note that the delay in closing Idle windows does NOT afflict the Windows 
version. I see the delay only on Linux and Unix, which ought to give us a 
clue as to where to look for a solution. The reason the delay was so 
striking to me was that until very recently I had only used Idle on 
Windows, where the windows close instantly.
