in thread Tk and Threads

So you cannot throw ANY code into a thread codeblock, and expect signals to work.

But aren't those are exactly the same limitations that safe signals have outside of threads?

    You are right, but I was just trying to point out that he cannot arbitrarily dump any code, into a thread, and expect the Cancel button to work. He can only gaurantee the Cancel button will work if he can "kill -9" some pids.
