Hi Jim,
Been a while but looking at some old code, I have a work around.
What I have done (and others) is to HIDE the titlebar from view.
eg:
sizex, sizey = root.maxsize()
sizey -=25 # shift to hide titlebar
geometry = "%dx%d+0+%d" % (sizex,sizey,0)
root.geometry(geometry)
root.resizable(0,0) # disable resizing
then you can create a "button" explicitly for closing the app (place
where you wish).
This is a fudge, but hope it can help if no others respond.
