Summary: Using deiconify() hangs on exit

Initial Comment:
If you run the following script, and iconize the 
window before the after() timer, it'll restore and 
raise the window as it should, but then you can't 
exit.  You have to kill winoldap with ctrl+alt+del and 
wait.

I ran into this trying to write a portable jabber 
client using tkinter.

This is with 2.1.1 on Windows 98.  Does it every 
time.  May be related to bug #216289.

from Tkinter import *
import sys

def foo():
   print 'foo'
   sys.stdout.flush()
   root.deiconify()
   print 'bar'
   sys.stdout.flush()

root=Tk()
Button(root, text='Quit', command=root.quit).pack()
root.after(5000, foo)
root.mainloop()
