Lots of gui-toolkits don't like to be manipulated outside the thread their
main eventloop is running. I don't know this for sure for tk, but your
problem looks like it's the case here.

So I suggest you communicate your event to the main thread using a queue,
and insert the event in tk's event loop somehow. For that you could use
after-calls that periodically check for pending events.
