Besides that, the popup window is yet under the main frame... :-(
Seems to me that dialogWdw.tkraise(self.root) doesn't do its job.
It's like overrideredirect in main window override also tkraise on it.

I can't believe there isn't an easier way to make a kiosk application
without titlebar.
Perhaps to create a normal window bigger than screen with title bar
outside it?
And after how can I ignore titlebar menu command or "x" and "-"
button?
Or is it possible to create a main Toplevel without "x" and "-"?

Thanks.
Ciao.
