Hello Eric and Fernando, thank you very much for your answers. It helped :-/ I think I was a bit too fast here. Eric, you are precisely right, I should have done more investigation before. I think this issue (my issue) should be clarified now. I was just alert by the feedback of other users about hang-ups, I don't know if it was a good idea to bring this to the list, though. My apologises. Just had too many hidden hang-ups in my own threaded Tkinter code.
