[issue26377] Tkinter dialogs will not close if root window not packed.

Looking at #26376 again, I think Ned's msg260413 identified Sam's problem.  "Also note that installing ActiveTcl 8.6.x has no effect if the tkinter in use was linked with an 8.5 version of Tcl/Tk, as the one you are using apparently was. Make sure you have installed the latest version of ActiveTcl 8.5.x and try again."  Sam's tk 8.5 would have been Apple's buggy 8.5.9 (or earlier).  I should have asked for the 8.y.z version listed in About IDLE.

In any case, I also verified no problem in current Python-Tk-IDLE.

----------
resolution:  -> duplicate
stage:  -> resolved
status: open -> closed
superseder:  -> Tkinter root window won't close if packed.
