[Tkinter-discuss] tkSnack record for specific period of time

[skizm]

Cool this works, I was working on the threading idea but this is much
simpler.  Earlier i had tried the after function but I had it tied to the
frame object instead of the root object which made it not work for some
reason.
Thanks a lot for the help!
