In your main thread (the one handling the GUI), you can set up a
wx.Timer() whose bound event checks the queue every second or so.

As another poster mentioned, you can also post events to the GUI, which
can either say "there is an exception traceback in the queue" or "here
is the exception traceback".

It is really all a matter of taste.
