Matt,

I think the theory was that it is undesirable to create a new console
window with a bunch of stuff in it for the icon launch, but that the user
working from the commandline isn't likely to be so put off by it.

Or perhaps, I just changed one to python from pythonw once so I could
debug something.

I would hate to always have that console around with a bunch of gobblygook
in it.

Fixed.
