Thanks for the tip!

Sure, that would be great.  I am in absolutely no big hurry.  I just
wanted to see how it all worked since I did spend quite a bit of time
on gui_thread a couple of years back and was interested in the new
solution.  

I think a similar solution should work nicely for pyGTK also since
both pyGTK and wxPythonuse SWIG to generate the wrappers.
