Please read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5480131/will-python-systemrandom-os-urandom-always-have-enough-entropy-for-good-crypto
/dev/urandom can indeed run out of entropy if it is called repeatedly.
Here we call it only once, when the wallet is generated, so this cannot happen.
The only risk i see is if your wallet is created as part of the OS install on a very simple device. Correct me if I'm wrong.

hang on though if 10000's of people us electrum are they not calling this repeatably or is my maths way off....though if they are all using the same call in python, then some one will luck out?
could dev put in a mouse over this area like true crypt uses?
