I didn't understand your solution, how do you know if the image has
been rendered before calling mainloop ? Are you waiting for visibility
on the label or something like that ?
The more correct solution is to actually store a reference to the
ImageTk.PhotoImage instance (named "pi" in the example below),
otherwise the image will be deleted right after there are no more
references to it, which in the example given below will happen after
the function returns. I don't like this behaviour either, btw.
