The current patch on 5122 looks reasonable to me, and it solves my 
problem with the tests hanging. So I'd suggest you commit the patch, 
insofar it improves on the current situation.

I'm not an expert in tk, however. So if you're looking for advice from 
someone knowledgeable on tk's inner workings, you'll need to get someone 
else involved.
