Eh, how were you to know? It's something I sometimes forget on my Mac
since it is case-preserving but case-insensitive. Hopefully the
lib-old trick will solve the problem as PixMapWrapper was the only one
that is in any form of a package and that module is no longer an
issue.

See if having you move Queue.py into lib-old fixes things. Otherwise
the patch will need to be reverted. I am on GTalk right now so you can
IM me as soon as you have tried if you want and I can see if it fixes
the problem on OS X.
