I found a simple patch for that problem, in tkintermodule.c
#ifdef 0 the body of the Tkinter_Cleanup function. The code is
apparently meant to close windows before the application exits,
but they are closed anyway, even if the code isn't executed.
I'm not sure if the patch is the perfect fix, but it seems to
work fine.

I will also include a homebrew patch for Tkinter.py, which lets you exploit
the new image widget of tk4. The patch may not apply 100% cleanly because
the posting machinery on this host eats square brackets... Sorry about that.
