And in regards to this, have you found a solution?

I know from my occasional dabbling with windowey programming, all windows 
except "Top Windows" need a parent window so that the windows manager knows 
it's relationship to other windows. EG when you minimise the main program, 
the window manager needs to automatically hide all the child windows. Try 
passing your parent window as w. Even it's name implies that purpose to me.

The tree of windows also has purpose in the flow of events through the 
windows and the language you are writing. MS Windows, X and others all have 
distinct architectures for passing events around, and then you get the 
layer of the program or API on top of that (eg Unicon, ASF, MFC, Tk, etc) 
which may or may not choose to translate that flow into some other model.
