    Weird idle behavior for GUI apps

    Platform: Windows ME
    Python version: 2.3.2-1
    Problem: Running GUI apps in Idle does not work.

    When executing GUI (tkinter/pmw) apps from the edit windows or doing
    an "import <file>" in the shell window GUI apps freeze and do not
    respond to internal widgets or window decoration. They also do not
    repaint. Only way to bail out is to restart the interpreter. Same
    apps work fine from DOS window or double-clicked in file manager.
    These apps also still work in Python 2.2 environment (still installed)

    Character-based apps seem to work fine.

    Anyone seen this before?

    TIA,
    Ted Gill
