(Please don't top-post... It makes the individual messages very hard to read. Thanks.) In fact, it's exactly the reverse: the root or the instances of Toplevel have some properties that are not available to frames, for example the ability to have a menu bar. As already said, frames are only used to group widgets to do complicated layouts. In the example you gave, the frame is unneeded, and I'd say it should not be there (the only thing it achieved was just to confuse you...).
