Neither SetEventHandler() nor EnableAppswitch() changes anything (I've placed
it in front of the mainloop, ok ?). I've played a little with schedparams
with the
same result. But this seems to be relevant for async events only anyway (at
least
in Framework.py it looks like).

The behaviour happens constistently. And its is even more funny. If I click
several
times somewhere into the windows title bar (deactivated in the background) the
background window is collappsed and expanded again. This although I don't
get a part
code "inCollapseBox" at all.  Strange, isn't it :)

BTW: How about removing the traceback window of your IDE if running
__main__ again ?
