[DKF] notes that, "toplevels on UNIX/X are really a collection of several windows; the window you draw on (which is what [winfo id] will tell you), another window for a menubar (if you've installed one) and a third one to contain the other two.
If you do 'xwininfo -tree' you should be able to find out what's *really* going on."

[Martin Lemburg]: How can I detect if a widget is a toplevel? If I ask a widget for its class, this will fail e.g. at the root widget, because it doesn't return "Toplevel", but "Wish83". And toplevels could be given a class differing from "Toplevel" during their creation. So ... how can I detect a toplevel?
----
[IDG] [[winfo toplevel .] returns . 
whereas
 [winfo toplevel .someothertoplevel] returns .someothertoplevel

[MGS] In other words:

  proc istoplevel {W} {
    return [string equal [winfo toplevel $W] $W]
  }
