[IronPython] WPF Window vs. Application

[Lukáš Duběda]

Hmm, that's what I'm afraid of. Never done any threaded app
so far.

Could you, please, give me a hint as to how to set this up
so that the Application() runs from within the host app
without problems, i.e. as if it was just a host app's Window.

Thanks a lot, I appretiate it.
