I don't understand this, I have been running my tkinter based applications from within IDLE for years, on Mac, PC or Linux. Am I misunderstanding something? My biggest problems with IDLE on the Mac have been when python has been compiled against one version of the tcl/tk libraries but python is finding a different version of tcl/tk. Sometimes I have needed to recompile python from sources. Other times I have installed the asked-for version of tcl from ActiveState. Try running idle from a terminal window. That way you can see the error message when idle crashes. May suggest that the wrong tcl is installed.
