Thanks for giving it a shot. I just checked the version of Python I was using: 2.3.4 under Linux, and 2.4.2 under Windoze. So there is a difference here I guess, though I'd be surprised if it were actually any kind of "fix" between the two versions. As a side note, under Win, if I don't put the code in a class it seems to work fine. In other words: #start code from Tkinter import * win = Tk() img = PhotoImage(file="moon.gif") can = Canvas(win) can.create_image(2,2,image=img, anchor=NW) #no requirement for keeping an instance of the image around here win.mainloop() #end code ...and I get a moon displayed in the top-level window. This got me wondering if I was misusing the Frame and/or Canvas widget in some fashion (since obviously there is no Frame in the above snippet). Any other thoughts out there?
