No, it doesn't :-(
I used the following test code:
<code>
#! /usr/bin/python
from time import sleep
import sys,os,thread
from Tkinter import *
def one_th():
sys.stderr.write('In the thread...\n')
if os.fork()==0:
os.setsid()
if os.fork()==0:
sys.stdin=open('/dev/null','r')
sys.stdout=open('/dev/null','w')
thread.start_new_thread(one_th,())
while True:
sleep(60)
try:
rtk=Tk(screenName=':0.0')
except:
continue
break
Label(rtk,text='It works').grid()
sys.stderr.write('Entering mainloop\n')
rtk.mainloop()
sys.exit(0)
</code>
I can see on root's console "In the thread...", and, after a while, "Entering
mainloop", but
nothing shows up in user's screen.
Maybe it's simply impossible...
