Wow, that's ugly.

Let's try to diagnose this.

Can you try to access Mayavi functionnality throught ipython, for
instance, run "ipython -wthread", and run the following commands:

from enthought.mayavi import mlab
mlab.test_contour3d()

You should see a window poping up, with 3 isosurfaces. You should be able
to rotate the view with the mouse. Going to fullscreen yields a crash
with the version you have.

If this doesn't work, we'll try an even simpler test, can you run the
following script (with the standard python):

++++++++++++++++++++
from enthought.traits.api import HasTraits, Str

class A(HasTraits):
    a = Str()

A().configure_traits()
++++++++++++++++++++

You should have a very simple dialog that pops up, with a text box to
edit a string.

Please give me the results of these tests with any traceback.

Cheers,

Gaël
