That's a lot of questions :)
Maybe one of the gurus here can explain better than me why exactly
there must not be more than one mainloop. I think the problem with your
stopped while loop happens because the mainloop() does not return until
the main application window is destroyed. You can verify this by adding
a "print" statement after the second mainloop() to the new() function
in your previous example.
If you are not able to display images in the Toplevel window there is
surely something else wrong with your code, so maybe you can post a
short code example that shows this problem? It should definitely be
possible to put images in a Toplevel without a second mainloop :)

Regards

Michael
