This looks very cool and I'd love to be able to use this in various 
other tools.

I am running into some problems.  I'm using Ubuntu gutsy with 
wx.__version__ == '2.8.4.0' and the default ipython-0.8.1-1 shipped with 
Ubuntu.

When I run wxIPython.py, I run into the following.

  1. I can't see what I type, altho you have the FG set to WHITE it 
renders it black.  So unless I change the BG (in ipython_view.py) to 
something else that is light I can't see the cursor or any test I type.

  2. Regardless of 1 if I do type anything I get the following

In [1]: print "hello"

Sorry I can't debug anymore, I just thought I'd give you what errors I 
was running into.
