You'll need to do a clr.AddReference('PresentationCore') call before you can
access types related to WPF.  IronPython includes an avalon.py in the
Tutorial directory which will do this as well as adding references to 
PresentationFramework and WindowsBase which are other assemblies that make
up WPF.
