    Do what BWidgets does.  If the parent is "." and that window is 
withdrawn, make the window non-transient.  Or, considering that dialogs 
are drawn immediately (in BWidgets they are created but not drawn until 
"$w draw" is called), if ANY parent window is not visible, make the 
dialog non-transient.  One would usually assume that if you're using 
ttk::dialog that you want it to appear immediately no matter what the 
parent is.
