Thanks for the clarification.  I can see how a wx modal dialog could 
cause trouble, though I didn't know holding a menu open had the same 
nasty behaviour.

For me, this is merely justification to continue using separate threads 
for wxPython's main loop and for anything else, which has worked well 
for me whether I've been using Twisted or not.
