I did not know about the MainFormClass setting.
app = dabo.dApp(MainFormClass=None)
that removed the blank form.

I guess I'm still confused. Normally I would have used
app.MainFormClass = MainForm
And all would display normally. In this case I was required to create an
instance of MainForm and then show(), I always thought that Dabo would take
care of the opening MainForm form? At least that's what I believe someone
told me.
