This is where the problem is: if you do just a event_generate without  
specifying the 'when' option, the binding is fired immediately in the  
current thread. To be sure that an event is created and that the thread  
switch actually happens, do:

app.event_generate("<<myevent1>>", when='tail')

and things should work fine.
