gb.gui can not be loaded on demand

[GoogleCodeExporter]

if a developer wants to create a project that *optionally* depends on the 
gb.gui component, this is, loading it on demand, the interpreter crashes with 
signal #11.

Also, if the gb.gui component is not selected, the IDE ignores form files from 
the project.

Sample project attached.

Normal, both gb.gtk and gb.qt4 are initialized by the "main" hook run before 
the Main() startup method. If you load the components after, that hook is not 
executed.

Why do you want to do that?
