But there is a no -textvariable for a text widget, or other
more complex client areas.  Yes, I've seen this be an issue
before - there should be an option to withdraw the dialog
without destroying it.  Possibly in line with the persistent
dialogs mentioned?  Also useful as a feature where dialogs
would be reused (even maintaining last state).  Perhaps all
a bit too much for a simple API, but delayed destruction is
important.
