[Tutor] python 2.3.4 GUI

[John Matthews]

My experience is exactly opposite. IDLE became broken with Python 2.3 and it has 
nothing to do with other programming languages being installed because I don't 
have any others.

Sometimes deleting the .cfg files in \.idlerc\ makes it work, but sometimes not. 
It has always been a problem for me so I still run 2.2.2 which works fine.
