Re: Why is the display of the contents of a TK Dialog delayed

[TheoPetersen]

I've suffered from this for a long while myself. It's a window manager thing, but I haven't heard of anyone actually fixing it.

You can find more discussion (and window managers that don't have the problem) in these threads from comp.lang.perl.tk: DialogBox delay and Tk:Dialog slow.

Thanks for that.

The solution, or a workaround, is at the end of the second thread:

remove the line: $w->raise; from Post.al
or remove the line from Wm.pm before building Tk
and the delay will disapear.

I don't know enough of Tk to understand the implications of this, but it looks like a misfeature, that should be removed.
