Is there any reason the main class is a thread? I would make it just a normal class that would be much easier to debug. The reason why it does not work, is that all the things associated with gtk gtk should occur in the stream, so all methods are called widgets as follows: gobject.idle_add(widget.method_name)

. To hide the password window:gobject.idle_add(self.pwdWindow.hide)

You need import gobject

to first (you may need to install it first).



EDIT: I don't think this was your problem, anyway I edited your program a lot, here is the modified code .
