Remote engine acting up in 2.5 beta

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. trying to use a GUI library (only tried indirect use-cases: matplotlib and 
enthought.traits.ui with qt4/wx backend) inside a remote python engine

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing happens. The interpreter stops at the pyplot.show() or 
HasTraits.configure_traits() call, as expected for blocking calls, but no 
window appears, regardless of what external python engine is used. The internal 
one works as expected. Downgrading to 2.4 restores the correct behavior.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.5 beta, win7 64bit

Could you please provide a script demonstrating the issue?  Specify also python 
version.

Is your PyScripter 2.4 version that has no problems 32 or 64 bit?  Is the 
problem by any chance related to Issue 617?

I can confirm this for Pyscripter 2.5 32 bit on Win7 64 bit & python 2.6 and 
also with Win7 32 bit & python 2.7.2. The Wxpython hello world program only 
shows the window if using the internal engine or the Tk one:

import wx
app = wx.App(False) 
frame = wx.Frame(None, wx.ID_ANY, "Hello World") 
frame.Show(True)    
app.MainLoop()

Pyscripter 2.4.3 32 bit works as expected.

My python version is 2.7 32 bit.

Not sure which pyscripter bittage I have installed. The about menu doesnt say, 
but its in program files (x86), though I believe that does not necessarily 
prove anything? My policy is to download the bittage corresponding to my OS.

I dont see any resemblance to issue 617

Works for me; thank you so much for the rapid fix, and the best python editor 
in general! :)
