Subject: Re: Tk : non blocking Tk.mainloop

So, I patched manually the tk.rb file :
=====================================
# diff tk.rb.ORIG tk.rb

1238a1239,1241
>         interp.mainloop_abort_on_exception = true
>         Thread.current.instance_variable_set("@interp", interp)
>
1273a1277,1279
> # complete initializing
> ruby {TkCore::INTERP_THREAD[:interp] =
TkCore::INTERP_THREAD.instance_variable_get('@interp')}
>
1280,1281c1286,1287
<             interp.mainloop_abort_on_exception = true
<             Thread.current[:interp] = interp

=====================================

Unfortunately, my small scripts ends with an exception :
=====================================
tcltklib: delete slaves
tcltklib: destroy root widget
tcltklib: check `finalize-hook-proc'
tcltklib: check `foreach' & `after'
tcltklib: cancel after callbacks
tcltklib: finish ip_finalize
Exception `TypeError' at /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/tk.rb:1288 - exception
class/object expected
tcltklib: eventloop_ensure: current-thread : 9e62658
tcltklib: eventloop_ensure: eventloop-thread : 9e62658
tcltklib: eventloop-ensure: new eventloop-thread -> 4
tcltklib: finish current eventloop 9e62658
tcltklib: ip is deleted
tcltklib: ip is deleted
tcltklib: ip is deleted
tcltklib: delete deleted IP
tcltklib: free Tcl Interp 9e7ae68
tcltklib: complete freeing Tcl Interp
=====================================
Line 1288 is : Thread.current[:status].value = interp.mainloop(true)

Best regards
