Here is a code snippet I have pulled out of the project.  It is as bare bones 
as I can make it to get the point across.

the problems I am having:

1.  I would really like the window to be centered in the user's screen, but 
setting the geometry doesn't place it there.  (that isn't included here)
2.  When I click the Login button, nothing happens.  I know I am missing 
something but it just isn't obvious what it is.
3.  Finally, I would like to be able to hide the root window until the 
authentication is performed, but root.hide() gets me a getattr error.  
root.withdraw() works, but I can't get the root window back 

Thanks for your help.
