Your posts are easier to deal with if you provide tracebacks as text.
Here's what I get:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1442, in
__call__
return self.func(*args)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/idlelib/MultiCall.py", line 174, in handler
doafterhandler.pop()()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/idlelib/MultiCall.py", line 221, in
<lambda>
doit = lambda: self.bindedfuncs[triplet[2]][triplet[0]].remove(func)
ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list

This looks like the following bug:
http://bugs.python.org/issue8900
You might be able to work around it by selecting the
"At Startup Open Shell Window" option under
Options-->Configure IDLE-->General-->Startup Preferences
