Hmm, interesting. Could you have a look at the GU<sigma>I resources in both 
the working applet and nonworking application? Both should be the same, and 
have resource ID 10241.

I'm asking this because the only thing I can think of right now is that 
somehow your application didn't get a 10241 GU<sigma>I resource but a 10240 
one, which is overridden by any preferences setting you have.

For the curious, and for the record as I don't think this process is 
documented anywhere yet: for all resources (python path initialization, 
options, gusi options) we search four places and use the first match:
1. Preference file, override resource ID
2. Application, override resource ID
3. Preference file, normal resource ID
4. Application, normal resource ID

The first one doesn't normally find anything, the second one finds 
EditPythonPrefs settings in the applet/application, the third one finds 
system-wide EditPythonPrefs settings and the last one finds the "factory 
defaults" in the interpreter.
