Two major problems with Tkinter exposed here.

1. The tutorials are VERY old and need to be updated. There needs to
be one, and preferably only one site for Tkinter tutorials. One that
is through and complete!

2. Tkinter is designed to "auto-magically" create a root window if the
user does not do so explicitly. This is a major flaw in the design of
Tkinter and needs to be removed yesterday!
