One additional comment for Lyle. The self argument in the runWhileEvents 
call is the first main window.

So I did one thing I change the argument to self.root to make the 
runWhileEvents loop run on the root window instead of the main window. 
This solved my focus problem so that now I can select the second main 
window ok. However it looks like the second window doesn't refresh 
itself correctly. For instance when I click on the node of a Tree List 
nothin happen on the display  but hidding/unhidding the window updates 
the display of the TreeList to what it should be.

So at least this is an indication that this piece of code is probably 
the root cause of my problem with the 2 windows. And if anyone has an 
idea on ho to fix the refresh problem....
