I gave it a go, but run into a few issues.

- tv.ico not included, no problem just used some other icon file
- if a config file is present but it includes an invalid path the 
program throws an exception
- my default install of wxPython is Unicode, the pickling of the path 
does not work (I think it is an encoding issue).
- setup.py was not included

I added these to the top of the file:
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-#
import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.8-ansi')

I think defining the file encoding is good practice and the other two 
are to force it to run with the wxPython ANSI version - note that 2.8 is 
the last wxPython ANSI version (IIRC), so you might want to byte the 
bullet and move soonish over to the Unicode build.

After this I still get an exception to do with the config file reading.  
If you haven't already solved your issues may I suggest that you copy 
the minimal version to a folder on your machine and try to run it, when 
it runs then either private copy me or send it to the list again (but 
with the setup.py).

Werner
