the reason for not enabling it by default is, that i did not know
whether there would be any side effects.
e.g. if the pdwindow was not there at all (either iconified or totally
disabled - think kiosk mode), would the "tkwait" wait forever and/or
block the the entire gui process?

anyhow, in order to enable it one only has to set the "false" to "true"
(or change the entire code to
<snip>
tkwait visibility .pdwindow.tcl.entry
grab set -global .pdwindow.tcl.entry
</snip>

which is even simpler.
