Patch to mostly fix blank on Mac

[sandymac]

This patch (sorry I don't speak git/github yet) mostly fixes my issue with GMM on my Mac. I get a blank window and the root.withdraw() and root.deiconify() lines hide/show windows as need so this isn't an issue. This blank window is most annoying because it's not apparent you have to close this window for GMM to actually work once you click the Patch button. This blank window still shows up at GMM exit with the patching completed successfully but it doesn't get in the way of patching there and the root.withdraw() method doesn't work for me.

+1 this. +1 this a hundred times (is that just +100?). I read through dozens of pages on the forums. I learned some python so I could do some debugging. I installed three different versions of python. All to fix this problem. I'm so glad I found this submission. Thank you!

Additionally, I can confirm that it fixes the problem.
