Thanks a lot for the super quick answer! After reading your post I did try 
to create an empty model named scheduler.py and indeed the widget now 
allows me to start a worker for my app, so this does solve my issue!
One thing that confuses me is that when I start the source version in 
windows with the -K option I get still the widget popping up and no worker 
is automatically started. If I try to pass the -K option to the windows 
executable instead, after I created the model scheduler.py, I indeed get 
the worker to start and to behave correctly.

Using the -K version on the executable I am also able to start multiple 
workers now, so I'm really in business. I'd still like to know why the 
source version does not behave as expected though:in my case passing the -K 
option it just goes straight to the widget as if I didn't pass any option:

C:\web2py_src\web2py>web2py.py -K VerificationDemo -D0
No handlers could be found for logger "web2py"

Maybe I'm missing something else?
Again thanks, I'm unblocked for now! :)
