PythonWin has a problem when locking Scintilla for printing,
and a tasklet prints then, too. I will prohibit this by
some magic which is already designed: I don't allow switching
for modules which are not registered. (registrry to be done)

wxPython: Nooooo, it works like a charm! I have a commercial
application which runs multiple tasks in wxPython.
There are some small imcompatibilities which I will
discuss with the wxPython developers.
