I have no objection to this patch (and the other two look fine to me)
but I would like to say that this whole idea looks racy in general,
and that it would be better to fix this inside Tk itself: the internal
visibility-wait should be doing the visibility-check already. Given
that it's obviously *not*, this, as a workaround, seems OK.
