I am working my way through Alan Gauld's tutorial and have just started
the section on GUI. The windows that are created look odd with no title
bar or maximise, minimise or close window button.
The simplest program that should show the icons is:
>>> import Tkinter
>>> top = Tkinter.Tk()
>>> top.mainloop()
What do you see when you type just those lines at
the >>> prompt?
All I get is a white square, with no way to close without using kill
I have done a bit of tinkering and have found that it is only my user
account that behaves this way.
OK, No idea why that would be happening but it may be a Unity
setting - I use Mint/Cinnamon because I hated Unity...
Can you try logging out and back in using a different desktop - say XFCE
and see if that
changes anything. That will hopefully narrow it down to a Unity v User
settings issue.
In either case it will probably be an issue for another forum since its
unlikely to be
a Python issue, but please keep me in the loop since it might affect
other tutorial
users.
