Doesn't work. BTW, forcing the focus or setting the grab globally are usually considered very annoying and I don't know any windowing system or window manager honouring those. For the OP: the problem comes from the tcl/tk level. Running a tcl script just opening a window from the terminal shows the same behaviour. You might want to forward the question to the tcl guys. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
