Well, yes waitVisibility is very temperamental, doesn't behave in any coordinated fashion that I can percieve.

But for me in this case it displays, most of the time I get a flicker and a flash and dissappearing act.

Both calls are needed and in the position they are in linewise.

Then again I get a lot of trouble trying to tell my geometry managers to display, so i may just be using an old buggy version.

I can remove the $label->update; term from the sub as it is a referenced value to the -textvariable option.
