[Tkinter-discuss] Correct order for dialog display

[Vasilis Vlachoudis]

  Thank you Michael for the suggestion,

I don't understand why you are using the withdraw() before.
Now on my linux, it pops up the window (with Tk dimensions) then it 
remove it and then it displays it correctly with my dimensions.

Cheers
Vasilis
