Magnus, but it _does_ seem to work, at least on windows. Each time I try it, 
I get a different window (the little tk decoration in the window bar, etc.)

On linux, I get:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 8, in ?
ImportError: No module named anygui.backends.tkgui
