Tkinter question: image on canvas

[Hans Nowak]

OK, replying to my own message... I think I found the problem. A 
typical case of "duh"...

This creates an image, and stores the only reference to the 
PhotoImage instance as a local variable. In other words, it will be 
destroyed as soon as the end of this method is reached. No wonder it 
doesn't display the image... =/

My other program didn't have this problem since it stored all images 
nicely in a dictionary.

Duh-ly yours,
