I'm afraid writing an explicit destroy method did not do the trick. I
still get the same error. ("""The instruction at "0x6697c820" referenced
memory at "0x01681f1c". The memory could not be "written". Click on OK to
terminate the program""")

Here is the latest code (that still causes the crash):

-------------------------------

import Tkinter

class Movie(Tkinter.Widget):
    """Wrapper class for QuickTimeTcl::movie."""
    def __init__(self, parent, cnf={}, **kw):
	"""Constructor. Parameters the same as here:
        http://hem.fyristorg.com/matben/qt/htmldocs/movie.html"""
        parent.tk.eval('package require -exact QuickTimeTcl 3.1')
        Tkinter.Widget.__init__(self, parent, 'movie', cnf, kw)

def closing(m, r):
    """Test for destroying the movie and root window when clicking X."""
    m.destroy()
    m = None
    r.destroy()

root = Tkinter.Tk()
m = Movie(root, file="toaster.mpeg")
m.pack()
root.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW",
              (lambda x=m, y=root: closing(x,y)))
root.mainloop()

## Tried the following too, but has not effect.
m = None
del m

----------------------------------

Any ideas what to try next!?
