see http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/hello-tkinter.htm

then click 'details' to see the explanation of root=Tk(), which
creates the root window in your native OS.

have them appear at specific locations on the screen using the
.geometry method (this is dangerous though unless know what your
user's screen setup is)
