I thought we fixed the thing on win32 where the command prompt pops up. Did I regress that with my changes?

Summary: Live effects causing problems on Windows

Initial Comment: I was testing one of the latest windows development builds (Inkscape 0.46dev+devel, built Jul 11 2007) and I noticed something pretty odd with the new live effects.

Basically, it works by calling the effect repeatedly as you make changes. However on windows this involves opening a dos window for python to run each time, which happens 4 to 20 times a minuet, which is darn annoying...

oh, and the other problem it has, is when changing a value by using a spinbox, it seems to lose control and it will keep registring the same event so the value will change to the min/max value of the spinbox depending on which arrow you press.

These two bugs combined lead to a lovely loop of

open an effect, say jitter nodes dos window opens change value of spinbox by using arrow

loop * 100(0)? incress spinbox value by 1 open dos window to rup python interpreter, stealing focus and on top close python window, retuning focus to UI

incress spinbox value by 1 open dos window to rup python interpreter, stealing focus and on top close python window, retuning focus to UI

end loop... Update Inkscape UI
