When using Tk on a Mac (Python 3.5, ActiveState Tk 8.5, Mac 10.11), why does the Python launcher retain Dock right-click menu entries for every Toplevel window that has been closed? This doesn't happen for common dialogs, but does for every custom dialog the closes with a widget.destroy(). It also happens for IDLE dialogs that are not withdrawn/redrawn, so it seems fairly pervasive.
A simple demo of the problem is attached below: every "destroy" popup lingers on in the launcher's Dock menu after it's closed (whether by the red "X" or the widget.destroy() callback), and remains in the Dock menu until the main window is closed (by widget.quit() or otherwise). This happens whether the script is run by click or command line. Any ideas? The phantom Dock menu entries are useless (and even buggy) for modal dialogs that have been dismissed.
