Hmmm... I've coded this quick 'untested' workaround. I'm currently not 
working from Windows so I don't know if this works.
The idea, is to check sys.version and if its less than 2.4, I 
conditionally define _start_control() to use or not use the threading 
decorator. Its a dirty hack.

Replace your bases.py with the attached bases.py and see if that solves 
it. You won't for now be able to use the @systray.threaded decorator 
too, so you can comment that out of the sample. Also, using App.start() 
will *block* and won't return till the function finishes, since it isn't 
threaded *anymore* due to this hack. I guess my *unvoiced* advice is 
that you should attempt migrating to 2.4 (it's going to be a pain to 
keep this in sync with 2.3, since i don't use it anymore, I wouldn't 
know when I break it :( )

First though, let me know if this works.

cheers,
Essien
