Fixed. I'd fixed this after commiting the change, but hadn't checked in
the fix. Grr ...

I don't know about this one. The program starts normally here. Can you
try running python from a command line and then do this ...

$ python

You should see 'GTKImage' in the output.

Thanks! I've checked in a slightly different change - the mode will get
the binary flag if sys.platform is 'win32'. I think that should cover
all the current windows versions.

Do an 'svn update' again and you'll get the changes.
