in thread Tk and Threads

I thought that it is not allowed to create a new thread after Tk was started because this would then make the SW unstable and possibly crashing.

You are right to continue believing that.

Alot of what BrowserUk says may be true, on Windows, which he uses. But on linux, threads work a bit differently.

Of course, on Gtk2, you can create them after gui init. ;-)

    Care to tell me which bits of what I say might not be true on windows?

    With the notable exception of the *nix implementation leaking memory like sieve when the Windows implementation doesn't, can you demonstrate any other platform dependant differences?

      That's the one I'm talking about!! And it's very very important. :-)
