I found another glitch:

After termination of askopenfilename() the window focus is not returned to
the calling window (xterm on Linux, cmd on Windows). I have to click it
again, to regain the focus and continue typing. Is there a workaround?

What happens with

root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
fiel = ...
root.destroy()

Focus cannot stay with destroyed window.
