[Idle-dev] Slow close?

[Guido van Rossum]

I see one strange side effect though.  I'm using KDE.  When I create a
new window and make some changes to it and then quit IDLE, the new
window is lowered to the bottom of the window stack for a good three
seconds before it pops back up to the front.  This is quite
disconcerting!  So I think there's still something bogus going on.
A print confirms that the lift() call takes about 2-3 seconds.  Why
could this be?  Who's waiting for whom at this point?
