And other X11 apps are working fine on the test VPS where your app
crashes? Other Tk apps?  Other Python Tk apps?

Your app runs fine on my VPS (Linode), running CentOS 7, Python 2.7.
Also runs fine on my CentOS 6 VM (also Linode), Python 2.6.6.

I also verified that if X11 forwarding is not working, Python reports an
exception "_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY
environment variable" immediately, so that's definitely not your problem.
