Calling askstring results in a "grab fail" exception
about 2/3rds of the time on redhat 9/Python 2.3.3.

By inserting one line in:

/usr/local/Python/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.py
//line 521

the problem seems to go away.

def grab_set(self):
        """Set grab for this widget.
        A grab directs all events to this and descendant
        widgets in the application."""
       
self.wait_visibility()############added#####################
        self.tk.call('grab', 'set', self._w)

The patch is wrong: the grab_set function should really just
invoke Tcl "grab set"; this should not change.

Adding a wait_visibility() immediately before grab_set() in
tkSimpleDialog has a negative effect on my system: the
dialog does not appear anymore, but is minimized. Therefore,
I'm rejecting this patch. Please submit a bug report that
demonstrates your problem instead.
