[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Reproduced with the console python.exe.
Click an item in the list on the right to choose the key ("down arrow")

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Python30\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1405, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "c:\Python30\lib\idlelib\keybindingDialog.py", line 158, in
FinalKeySelected
    self.BuildKeyString()
  File "c:\Python30\lib\idlelib\keybindingDialog.py", line 165, in
BuildKeyString
    keyList.append(finalKey)
AttributeError: 'filter' object has no attribute 'append'

Then it is still possible to save these settigs, but the binding
contains event=="Control", and IDLE fails on startup:

Simple patch attached.
