[Bf-python] Updating a panel

[Matt Ebb]

I don't know if there's a good way to do this. :(

Being abale to send notifiers would be great, but i don't think it's
possible. I have a situation like this where I want the UI to be
refreshed after completing a file system scan in a separate thread.
The dodgy method I use is to set a property that I know triggers a
notifier to itself (eg. mat.diffuse_color = mat.diffuse_color). Seems
to do the job...
