Subject: [ruby-core:30397] Re: tk doesn't startup well in doze

> Does it occur with RubyTk-Kit version (it based on latest tcltklib.c)?
It doesn't (nice).  Just with 8.5 built from source with msys/mingw.
Haven't tried with 8.4

I did notice that with the rubytk-kit and the other they both open up
a "mystery" tk window in the background when I do the
require 'tk'

(which 1.8.x doesn't do, with 8.4)

If that's any help or not...

Yes.

It does.

It seems that fixes all the above problems.  The mystery window
doesn't appear, I am able to exit without hanging, and no error
message is output.

Thanks for your help on this.
