Interesting. This probably has to do with Python.app not going through
the correct initialization sequence. The main program of Python.app is
simply the main program for MacPython with everything that didn't work
imedeately #ifdeffed out.

If someone could look at the code (Mac/Python/macmain.c) and the
releant Apple documentation and tell me what to do that would be
great. For one, MacPython doesn't initialize the menubar because that
is (a) delayed and (b) handled by SIOUX when it's needed. So we
probably need some stuff for that, but there may be more missing.
