Tk Source Code

The attached patch fixes the longstanding two second
"raise delay" seen under certain window managers, by
making [raise] and [lower] asynchronous.

A forthcoming TIP describes the changes in detail; for

For the benefit of older Tcl/Tk releases, trying to get this
fixed in the WMs too.

Tested on:
    4DWM (Irix)
    CDE (AIX)
    Gnome/Sawfish (Debian)
    Gnome/Enlightenment 0.16.5 (Debian)
    KDE/kwin 2.2 (Debian)

The patched wm.test passes under all platforms
except for CDE, which now intermittently fails 2-3
wm-stackorder tests.

unixWm.test has numerous geometry-related failures
under KDE/kwin; no new failures.  Under 4DWM and CDE,
there are two preexisting failures, but no new ones. 
One preexisting failure under Gnome/Sawfish, no new ones.
Seven preexisting failures under Gnome/Enlightenment, no new
ones.
