        With the while 1: loop the event handler will never have a
chance to take over.  You want to schedule an update callback
regularly.  Try this:


from Tkinter import *
from time import *

def titleTime():
    now = strftime("GMT: %I:%M:%S %p", localtime(time()))
    root.title(now)
    # Time in ms.
    root.after(1000, titleTime)

root=Tk()
root.iconify()
titleTime()
root.mainloop()
