Is Tkinter compatible with GNOME?

Is Tkinter also compatible wih GNOME?

I wrote a program in python that displays 2 buttons for starting and stopping the
execution of a program.
I used Tkinter for the gui.
I want the program to run as a daemon when linux is booted.
I want the buttons to be displayed at the presession login screen.
I am using Fedora core 4 with GNOME

I cannot seem to get the buttons to display at the presession screen.
I figure it is either that the init script I wrote to make the python program a daemon
isnt working right OR Tkinter cant do the job.

Any thoughts?

Have you tried starting it in a .xsession file with something like:
exec gnome-session &
button_prog.py

Doesnt .xsession only get invoked after someone has successfully logged into an account?

I need the button_prog to be running in the background before anyone logs into the system.
Ultimately, I want the person logging in to be able to press a button instead of having to
enter a username and password.
