I have to rewrite the interface to place properly the widgets, so that 
the command line parameters entry is not hidden when you change the font 
size.

Why do you change defaults from what they are in the

I had to add a default command line in case Pyvon does not find any 
pyvonrc file ( That's what happens when it is run for the first time).
This prevents the user from getting an error.
I am going to replace the -f by a mere space.
