FXTopWindow::flash in FXMessageBox doesn't flash

Steps to reproduce
1. Run attached source file.
2. Press the button.
3. Observe that a FXMessageBox will pop up.
4. Observe that a timeout is set to call flash after Step 3.

Expected results
The source in FXTopWindow is going to Flash the window to get user's
attention.

Actual results
The window did not flash while the flash method was being called in the
timeout.

Notes
fox-1.7.20.tar.gz (DEVELOPMENT).

For issues where the Window Manager is involved, its is important to
mention the operating environment of the FOX program, since in this
case the Window Manager is responsible for the visual effect of "flash()"
or attention mode.
