I wonder if it's a conflict between the Tk and Twisted event loops? 
Doesn't Twisted have its own event loop? (Never used Twisted myself.)

My apps inherit directly from Tk/Tkinter itself:

class quickwhoApp(Tk):

     def __init__(self, parent):
         Tk.__init__(self, parent)
         try:
             self.tk.call('console', 'hide')
         except TclError:
             pass

if __name__== '__main__':
     app = quickwhoApp(None)
     app.mainloop()

Binding to self works for me under these circumstances.

Not sure--as I saisd, I think adding Twisted to the mix makes things 
more complex.
