I have added you as a developer so feel free to fix the code 
directly :-)

Yes please.  I fixed a few other bugs and the whole thing will now
be 0.2.

Making this somewhat bitpim related, I also found a wierd issue
with wxPython.  On Linux, wx.BeginBusyCursor calls all idle
handlers.  If you call wx.BeginBusyCursor in an idle handler,
you may get infinite recursion.

The important lesson there is to make sure that idle handlers
behave well when called in a re-entrant fashion.  It may also
explain some other wierdities that were happening.

A brief check of the BitPim code shows that several of
them could be tweaked a little to ensure that re-entrancy
is fine.
