[Tkinter] Background inactivity timer when tkinter window is not active

[DBox]

Running the idle checker in a different thread let's that code run in parallel with the dock, but it does stop tkinter.mainloop(). Notice that the counter in the window does not increment while the window is hidden. Is that a problem?

No, that's not a problem at all for what I'm trying to do. Thanks so much for this, I believe I can do what I need to now.
