Hello

I'm writing a kiosk application showing some html tables in one frame and an
horizontal ticker in a different frame; each frame has its own thread
dealing with its widgets and its data.The application works without any
problem under Linux; on Windows the same application dies almost
immediately, not being able to update the screen (it hangs on calls to
Tkinter methods).

How can I deal with these 2 frames updating independently one from the other
without hanging the application? Shall I run the update() method each time I
use a graphic method?

I also tried running two different applications, one for displaying the
tables and one dealing with the ticker: in this case I have no longer hangs
but how can I move the keyboard focus from one application to the other?

Thanks

Corrado
