   -- output to the display and waits for the server to process the
   -- output and return errors or events, handles all pending events
   -- of any sort and repeats this set of operations until there are
   -- no pending events, no pending handlers and no operations still
   -- outstanding ( from Tk man page)

   -- Same as update, but no new events or errors are processed -
   -- only the when idle handlers are invoked.
