[Twisted-Python] GUI Integration

The wxsupport is broken, no matter which platform. That's why I invented the 
timer thing on ASPN. Wxsupport will fail the moment you open a modal dialog 
(or use a pulldown menu, which also is a modal). Probably there will never be 
a real reactor, well - unless someone with a lot of knowledge of both twisted 
and wxpython writes one. The problem is that wx - being platform independent 
uses the native event-loop, which behaves differently on windows, gtk or 
whatever. So a reactor would have to take care of that. The timer recipe 
works nicely though.
