    It’s because there are events in the queue; the StackOverflow question python wnck not returning any data until after a pdb.set_trace() explains this. You just have to wait for the window list to fill up; when it is run fron the console, I believe Python empties the queue, but when you’re running a file, you have to run the gtk iteration functions.
