root.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", your_quit_method)
This way, your_quit_method() will be called when the window manager
closes the window through the window's "close" button (i.e. usually the
cross in the upper right corner) or through Alt-F4 or so. In most cases
it is a good idea to define a "WM_DELETE_WINDOW" callback even if it is
only root.quit() to make sure you have control over what happens when
the user clicks the "close" button.
Of course, if you have some code that should be called after the window
is closed, you can also simply put it below the mainloop().
