Well the only thing I can think of is to incapsulate it inside a class 
and initialize method like

     class foo
       def initialize
         #your tk code and while loop
       end
     end
     foo.new
     Tk.mainloop

that way everything gets read and the while loop won't start till the 
Tk.mainloop is called. This should work if you adapt it right, 
hopefully.
Hope this helps.
