Hmm, nasty probelm. Maybe a Python command "update_gui" to execute each time
we want the GUI updated. It's manual but maybe it can be added at the end of
all the GNUbg-specific pythn commands (I'm totally new to Python, I'm just
rambling).

Hmmm, I've downloaded the libpython dll and the no-GUI builds works fine.

I've installed Python 2.2.3 but in the GUI build (old and panel/3D)
the "Python shell (IDLE)" menu is always disabled. Maybe it is built
without Python support (Nardy ?).
Assuming that's the problem, what should I do to build with Python
support ? Just set USE_PYTHON to 1 (I guess it's somewhere in the
makefiles or directly in the source) ?

MaX.
