Obviously it isn't if you looked at the BZ link in the answer to you in 
the 2009-August thread:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443246

You can try filing a new bugreport or just get in touch with both the 
maintainer of tcl/tk and eggdrop (quick googling shows there were some 
workarounds which could make it working with threaded tcl/tk as well) 
and try to find out the solution that will make eggdrop working with 
enabled threads.

(...and yes, I was recently doing a comparison of python GUIs and can 
just recommend switching to PyQt, like I did, or PyGtk -- if you prefer).

Agree that this one should be easy to fix (*provided that the patch you 
are mentioning indeed works*), try to ping the maintainer once more -- 
it is not there so terribly long (2 weeks).
