[Tutor] Creating a widows screensaver with python....

Once again: Try and code a little bit before you post.. <blush>

I got this far:

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
tux=PhotoImage(file='\windows\desktop\tux.gif')
w=Label(root, image=tux)
w.pack()
root.mainloop()

Which squirts a penguin into a window for me. If I'd've tried for 20 
minutes I woul't have wasted Ye Bandwidth...

Anyway, my next goals are:

1. Stripping off the standard toolbar, frame and button widgets from the 
window, leaving only the image.

2. Making the window close upon keyboard or mouse input.

3. Blacking out the entire screen except for the image.

_Now_ I need some actual input. I have been looking through the excellent 
"Introduction to Tkinter" but can find nothing that clues me to any of these. 
Any suggestions?
