Yes, it has changed. RedHat now ships with a thread-safe X so that they can use GTK and Gnome (which use threads quite a bit). There may be other limitations, however, as I haven't tried to do any threaded GUI programming, especially on a recent RedHat (I'm using a patched/hacked RH 4.1 system). RedHat 6.0 may even ship with a threaded Python, but I dunno... -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
