The behavior of your tcl script is identical to the Python code so it's not
Python causing the problem. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), Python 2.5.2 and I
don't know enough about tcl to find out its version. The file
/usr/share/doc/tk8.4/README says it is 8.4.16.

The code given exhibits the problem on my Ubuntu Linux box. For the
sake of clarity I enumerate three windows involved in this code:
- The MAIN window which has a button marked "popup" in it.
- The CHILD windows which has a button marked "filedialog" in it.
- The OPEN window which is the tkFileDialog
On my machine clicking on the "popup" and "filedialog" buttons works
ok, but once you select a file and click OPEN, then what is on top
and visible is the MAIN window whereas what the original poster
wanted was to see the CHILD window. Even worse, if (starting from
scratch again) you click the "popup" button, then drag the resulting
CHILD window to a slightly new position then click the "filedialog"
button, the OPEN window appears *under* the CHILD window which seems
less than useful.
You are right, this actually sounds less than useful and it is surely
not the way it is supposed to be. I cannot reproduce this here (debian
lenny, Python-2.5.2, Tk-8.4.19) though. I guess this is most likely a
bug in your version of Tk.
I wrote a tiny tcl script that does basically the same as the python
code from my last post, you can try if it exhibits the same bug, then
we could at least be sure that it's not python that causes the bug.
###CODE###
#!/usr/bin/env wish
toplevel .t
wm withdraw .t
wm protocol .t WM_DELETE_WINDOW {wm withdraw .t}
button .t.b0 -text "filedialog" -command tk_getOpenFile
pack .t.b0 -padx 100 -pady 100
button .b1 -text "popup" -command {wm deiconify .t}
pack .b1 -padx 100 -pady 100
