>Summary: IDLE crashes when running Tkinter code

Initial Comment:
On Windows 2000 (havent tested other platforms) IDLE 
will crash if i run the following code (ditto for 
PythonWin)

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
img = PhotoImage(root,file="somefile.gif")
# the error here is that i used root as the name

Sorry, it's best not to use IDLE to run Tkinter code.

I'm closing this bug report with a "won't fix". It will
actually eventually be fixed, but the fix is far in the
future.

This is in fact not platform specific.

I get the same problem. Idle locks up when I close the 
window created by this application. 

I'm using Python 2.1 on Win98SE with IDLE 0.8 and Tcl 8.3

Happens every time for me. I can't get IDLE back to the >>> 
prompt when I close the window.

HELP!
----
from Tkinter import *

def testwindow(mess):
    root = Tk()

    w = Label(root, text="[ %s ]" % mess)
    w.pack()

    root.mainloop()

testwindow("Hello World")
