Apparently:
def hello(self):
self.root.after_idle(self.root.lower)
tkMessageBox.showinfo("Popup", "Hello!")
does something looking like what you want. I don't know of any way to get
the identifier for the window created by tkMessageBox.showinfo, so if
there's a way to do better than that, I don't know it.
As an aside, having a window with overrideredirect(1) creating "normal"
windows such as the one created via tkMessageBox.showinfo is asking for
problems. What are you trying to do here?
