I've done this one a few times, although on Linux I tend to just use
gnome-open or xdg-open and let the file be displayed with whatever's
configured - there's usually some sort of image viewer available on
the systems I use.

> 2. Write 2 scripts, one script do network related works, sleep at will; the other one show GUI. Use pipe or socket for process communication.

3. Write one script. First do the network stuff, sleep at will; then,
when it's finished downloading, show the window.

That might be easier!
