Your program and Idle are sharing some tk-resources.

Try this :

import Tkinter
from Tkconstants import *
import sys, types

_inidle = type(sys.stdin) == types.InstanceType and \
	  sys.stdin.__class__.__name__ == 'PyShell'

tk = Tkinter.Tk()
frame = Tkinter.Frame(tk, relief=RIDGE, borderwidth=2)
frame.pack(fill=BOTH,expand=1)
button = Tkinter.Button(frame,text="Exit",command=tk.destroy)
button.pack(side=BOTTOM)

if not _inidle:
    tk.mainloop()
