This seems to work:
-----------
from Tkinter import Tk, PhotoImage, Label

def load_img(win):
        img = PhotoImage(file="/home/peter/dow.gif")
        Label(win, image=img).pack()
        return img

win = Tk()
img = load_img(win)
win.mainloop()
-----------

I guess the problem was that the "img" created in load_img went
out of scope and was deleted when load_img returned.  I just tried
the "return img" as an experiment to keep it from going out of scope;
from a software-engineering standpoint this might be a gross kluge.

Baffling? Personally, I never got past feeling generally bewildered in
Tkinter-land, and now I use matplotlib for all my graphical needs.  I
had great hopes for PyGUI at one point, but I hear very little about it
now.
