Subject: Pmw, threads, Linux, and 1.5.2

I have a Pmw application that I'm running under version 1.5.2, and I
|
|
would like to break this application up into a couple threads (Pmw_0_8
|
|
and RedHat Linux 5.0).
|
|
|
|
However, Pmw makes use of the `update' and `update_idletasks' Tkinter
|
|
methods, and according to the documentation, using these methods
|
|
within threads will cause a deadlock under Unix.
|
|
|
|
I actually see this deadlock behavior, and so I assume that this
|
|
documentation is correct. But before I give up hope altogether,
|
|
I'm wondering if anyone has found any way around this restriction?
|
|
I'd really like to continue using Pmw and to make use of threads,
|
|
if at all possible.
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance.
