As an addendum:

Note that this isn't an issue with Ruby as the ruby interpreter only  
upgrades to a GUI process if you call TransformProcessType yourself.  
e.g. This is what rb-appscript's OSAX module does whenever it needs to  
display a dialog, and it works fine.

With the general de-Macification of Python 3.0 being planned, I wonder  
if the python3.0 interpreter should take the same approach, leaving it  
up to individual modules to decide if and when they want a GUI  
connection? Anyone any thoughts?
