With pywin32 build 216 (was not in 212; and 214 I guess) win32ui apps,
which are started by these python(w).exe's , a strange auto-magical
button pressing is going on, immediately after application start. almost
any button is pressed when the mouse moves.. By chance its possible to
stop the show in the Task Manager.

It seems (seen by a debug output), that notification messages (BN_..
(Which could be routed via HookNotify?)) or so do trigger the normal
HookCommand'ed handler.
When that Common-Controls section (or the whole .manifest) is removed,
the apps work normal in build 216.

What could be the reason?

I've no idea - that sounds really strange.

What does this Common-Control section actually do?

I believe it says a new version of the commctrl library which does "xp themes" should be used by the app.

Cheers,
