Re: Is PTK a dead end? Or [ UpdateWrapper woes ]

Hmmm...  You could try giving the main window focus after the 
de-iconify.  It could be
that Windows simply doesn't switch focus from the active application to 
the Tk
app once it is de-iconified.  Maybe forcing it with

$mw->deiconify;
$mw->focus;


The other option might be to set the focusmodel to be active.

$mw->focusmodel( 'active' ) ;

will do the trick.  That might have unintended consequences though.  The 
docs
say that this will claim focus even if it is currently in another 
application.  That
sounds like your app would be in a modal state for the entire machine...
