Summary: pythonw scripts cannot interact

Initial Comment:
In MacPython 2.3rc1+ a bug has crept into pythonw which 
has the result that scripts run with it cannot interact with the 
user. The windows show up, but there is no menubar, no 
interaction and no dock icon.

This hasn't been tested yet with CVS python, so it could be 
an error in the build process of the binary distribution.

Turns out it is a shallow bug: the binary inside Python.app was 
renamed from "python" to "Python" to adhere to Apple's guidelines 
(as pointed out by our Apple guy). But the pythonw script still 
referred to it as "python", which sort-of works because of the case 
insensitive filesystem, but because Python != python the window 
manager doesn't allow access. Fixing and testing will take a little 
while longer.
