A window has default geometry (basically  1x1+0+0) until it is
actually displayed. Your root window is not yet displayed
at the point at which the print statement is executed.

Try the following, which forces pending drawing events to be
performed before the second print (with update()):

from Tkinter import *

root=Tk()
root.geometry('600x400+0+0')   #why???????
print root.winfo_geometry()
root.update()
print root.winfo_geometry()
