Looking closer, what Jonathan has done is expose the "display_kernel" 
functionality to Python.  It is the same display_kernel functionality 
that is inherited and specialized in the C++ code to create the 
functioning gtk and native Windows  displays.  It appears to me that the 
idea is that  one should be able to specialize other windowing  
environments - say  wxPython - by sub-classing from "display_kernel" *in 
Python*.   Which sounds to me a clever way to go, if it is in fact workable.

Dethe???.
