   I do not see anything to do that in Tcl/Tk. You can iconify a window,
   using Wm.iconify, but not hide it.

One can do it with ``Wm.withdraw''. This function exists in Labltk; the problem
is to say it to use my own function rather than the standard delete function
when the window destruction is requested by the Wm.

   If you really need this kind of power, you may consider switching to
   GTK.

...as soon as it will be included in the standard OCaml distribution: I don't
want people to have to download and install dozens of libs before being able to
compile my soft, esp. on platforms other than linux.
