What Fredrik probably means is: Did you by any chance start it from
IDLE? In that case it will not work. It doesn't for me. The reason -
I've been told - is that IDLE itself is a tkinter application.

If you instead start it by simply double-clicking on its icon, as you
would start anything else in Windows, it should work as expected. It
does for me, on Win XP Pro.
