   self.progressWindow.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW', self.callback)

becomes

   gui.cmd_queue.put(self.progressWindow.protocol,
                      ('WM_DELETE_WINDOW', self.callback))

where gui is the Window object containing your gui.

I think there are some recipes like this in ASPN, that give more
detail about how to do this stuff.
