Hi everybody. I have this code snippet that shows a window without a titlebar (using overrideredirect) and two buttons on it: one quits and the other one brings up a simple tkMessageBox. On Windows (any flavour) the tkMessagebox brings up over the underlying window. On Linux (apparently any flavour) the tkMessagebox brings up under the underlying window. You can drag the popup window near the main window to discover if it's over or under it. Obviously I would like to show a popup that is over the main window! Before asking I tried, I read, I googled, I pulled my hair off, but no avail... Any hints? Thanks a lot for your time. Ciao. Marco.
