That didn't work for me before. It was causing my Windows 10 system to
get stuck on a blank desktop. The SetThreadDesktop call was failing,
which I assumed was because tkinter was automatically creating an
invisible window or hook in the main thread. That's why I used a new
thread as a workaround. But just now it worked. Go figure.
