I suppose that you're running the XML-RPC server at one thread and the
graphic front-end at another. If that's the case, are you aware that you
can't simply update the graphics from the XML-RPC thread, but only from
the main, graphics, thread (it is, if you want immediate results)? It's
the same you can see with Java's SWING, and others.
