Yes, you have to call mainloop in the separate thread.  Be careful
because tkinter is not thread safe.  You have to communicate with the
gui thread through some synchronized mechanism like queues.  I usually
use the w.after operation to make a polling loop that checks a queue
for gui-updating events.  The events themselves are just callables
that do gui operations when called.
