[Idle-dev] Slow close?

[Bruce Sherwood]

Good job!

I too have been running Gnome/Sawfish on Linux. However, on the Mac where I 
also see slow closes I'm running raw X with the Oroborus window manager, 
not a Gnome or KDE environment. I'm using a "rootless" window manager, 
which means that windows appear as X windows on top of the Mac OSX graphics 
environment. (I have just begun to use Mac OSX, so I could be confused 
about my situation.)

Note that it is only Idle that shows the problem. Other programs close 
instantly. And on Red Hat Linux I believe that many of those fast-closing 
programs are in fact Python-based (Python 1.5), presumably with tkinter. 
Odd. And definitely annoying.
