Live effects causing problems on Windows

[Bug Importer]

I was testing one of the latest windows development builds
(Inkscape 0.46dev+devel, built Jul 11 2007)
and I noticed something pretty odd with the new live effects.

Basically, it works by calling the effect repeatedly as you make changes.
However on windows this involves opening a dos window for python to run
each time, which happens 4 to 20 times a minuet, which is darn annoying...

oh, and the other problem it has, is when changing a value by using a
spinbox, it seems to lose control and it will keep registring the same
event so the value will change to the min/max value of the spinbox
depending on which arrow you press.

These two bugs combined lead to a lovely loop of

open an effect, say jitter nodes
dos window opens
change value of spinbox by using arrow

loop * 100(0)?
    incress spinbox value by 1
    open dos window to rup python interpreter, stealing focus and on top
    close python window, retuning focus to UI

    incress spinbox value by 1
    open dos window to rup python interpreter, stealing focus and on top
    close python window, retuning focus to UI

end loop...
Update Inkscape UI
