Correct. overrideredirect only enables/disables borders. However, what appears as a "flash" when the dialog box first appears is actually a window with only borders being drawn (no contents). Disabling borders BEFORE drawing anything prevents this "flash". I cannot say if this "flash" occurs on all platforms, but it does occur on all windows XP platforms that I've tried it on. In each of these cases the "fixed" tkSimpleDialog.py prevents this "flash". While not vital to application reliability, this fix does make applications appear more professional.
