[Tutor] IDLE doesn't start in Python 2.4 in windows XP

[Srinivas Iyyer]

Hi Danny, 

I was following some of your suggestions in making my
IDLE work in Windows XP laptop. 
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2005-January/034683.html).

First, i changed the IDLE shortcut path:
from 
C:\Python24\python.exe TO
C:\Python24\python.exe
"C:\Python24\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw" -n

Now Idle works but throws up a lot of warning etc. in
a seperate black window.

#################
 Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict -
 problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-background'
 from theme 'sp'.
 returning default value: '#ffffff'

 Warning: configHandler.py - IdleConf.GetThemeDict -
 problem retrieving theme element 'builtin-foreground'
 from theme 'sp'.
 returning default value: '#000000'

The same content apparently repeatedly printed for 5
times i guess in the same black window. 
###########################
When I close that window the whole IDLE disappears. 

Is this the correct way or are there some
modifications incorporated now. 

Looking forward to your input
