my main window has a button that opens another toplevel window. this 
button is bound to a method that creates the window and does some other 
processing *only if* the windows does not exist yet (otherwise, the user 
could click more on the button and multiple copies of the window would 
pop up, which is not what i want... in fact what i do is to assign None 
to a variable called self.dialogo in my main application code, then i do 
self.dialogo = Toplevel() inside the method...)

in this precise moment, though, it comes to my mind that i could achieve 
the purpose simply activating/deactivating the button according to a flag...

anyway, i attach the code, so you can see better what i mean...

anyone who has to say anything about is welcome of course...

it is a tentative adapration of a program found in the tcl/tk package demo
