Summary: Using deiconify() hangs on exit
Initial Comment:
If you run the following script, and iconize the
window before the after() timer, it'll restore and
raise the window as it should, but then you can't
exit. You have to kill winoldap with ctrl+alt+del and
wait.
I ran into this trying to write a portable jabber
client using tkinter.
This is with 2.1.1 on Windows 98. Does it every
time. May be related to bug #216289.
from Tkinter import *
import sys
def foo():
print 'foo'
sys.stdout.flush()
root.deiconify()
print 'bar'
sys.stdout.flush()
root=Tk()
Button(root, text='Quit', command=root.quit).pack()
root.after(5000, foo)
root.mainloop()

I agree that this is likely the same as #216289.
AFAIK it's a Tcl bug and we don't know what to do about it.

Interestingly enough, if you add a print statement after
the mainloop(), it gets printed, showing the event loop
exits properly.
