No, that doesn't seem to help.

I think that this is more a question of program logic:

When I look at the example splashscreen code at [1], I see that the 
splash screen is defined as a separate class that is called from the 
wxApp's OnInit function and then calls the main GUI from its OnExit 
function. Using the example code here with the 400K version of the 
splash screen works perfectly.

I'm not familiar enough with wxPython and the wxGUI to adapt this 
quickly, but maybe this could inspire some of the wx gurus...
