The simplest way might be to launch "tail -f" as a subprocess and pass
the output file descriptor to loop.event_loop.watch_file().  That
function lets you define a callback that will get called when there is
input waiting.  In the callback you can append the text to the contents
of a ListBox.

Post some code if you get stuck and I'll see if I can help.
