I don't use idle handlers much, but I think that that's missing a 'return'
statement, saying how often it should be run? One reason why Nuria's
original script wasn't doing what she hoped was that - although it 'stays
open' - it only ran once, when first double-clicked. Probably she'd like it
to run every few seconds or every second, So, just above the 'end idle' line
at the bottom, I think it needs
return 1 -- or return 5
