Here's what I see:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
wx._core.PyNoAppError                              Traceback (most
recent call last)

wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL))

   1724         self.thisown = 1

PyNoAppError: The wx.App object must be created first!

This message gets printed zillions of times, since it seems to be
triggered by an event handler on mouse movement.  So basically the
screen goes nuts printing this same traceback over and over as fast as
it can.

Cheers,
