Yes I think I understand that the proxy already knows the values, but
mswgui only has enterMainLoop do self.proxy.push()

I had thought that this should be done in the backend widget factory,
but mswgui doesn't set self.widget there, it returns the widget to the
create method. So after inspection of Wrappers.AbstractWrapper.create 

        if application().isRunning():
            if not self.widget:
                self.widget = self.widgetFactory(*args, **kwds)
                self.widgetSetUp()


it seems that this should be done in widgetSetup, but that causes
recursion via setContainer. 

It seems that an unconditional push isn't right. At the very least
container needs to be removed from the list so what seems to work is

                self.proxy.push(blocked=['container'])
