Positioning a second GUI after closing the first in tkinter

Question

I want to do the following (absolute beginner here :) :
After start a gui will open with an ok button.
It will start in the middle of the screen.
After the closing of that gui a second will open on the same place.
Problem: the second doesnt react to the positioning I ask.

from tkinter import *
start = Tk()
start.geometry("300x300+533+234")
start.mainloop()
start.destroy()

# I left out the button part in this example, the trouble comes after the closing of the first gui and opening the second.

root = Tk()

root.geometry("300x300+533+234")

root.mainloop()

This gui will open after the closing of the first but it will be positioned not at the location stated in root.geometry, but in the left upper corner of the screen.

Why does the second gui neglect to go to the right position?
Or is there another (better) way to get a kind of gui before getting to the main gui?

Regards,
William

Answer 1

You should NOT create more than one instance of Tk() in the same program.
