Tkinter: centering windows on screen

[Kevin Cazabon]

Thanks Fred... It'll work, but that means that I'll actually have to do some
work to get it positioned right!  q:]

I guessed it wouldn't be as easy as widget.place(CENTER).  Oh well...

Is there a Python or Tkinter call to return the screen resolution?  I know I
can probably get it through Win32, but I'd rather make it cross-platform...
I'll do some digging.

Kevin.
