I think that there is *a lot* of usage of wxScrolledWindow as a 
wxScrolledPanel.  wxPython has a ScrolledPanel class already that could 
easily be changed to derive from wxScrolledPanel instead of 
wxScrolledWindow, but I think that there are still a lot of people that 
are just using wx.ScrolledWindow instead to hold controls.
