 Under Linux (specifically, this was found under Ubuntu 8.04 using Python
 2.5.2 and wx 2.8.7.1 (gtk2-unicode)), when you have a DatePickerCtrl and
 programmatically set the date to a value, the correct date displays in the
 control's text field. But when you invoke the drop-down to adjust the
 date, the sub-parts of the control (month, year, day grid) indicate the
 current date rather than the date set in the control.

 This Python code demonstrates:
 # Start code
 import wx
 app = wx.PySimpleApp()
 frame = wx.Frame(None, title='wxDatePickerCtrl issue')
 s = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
 frame.SetSizer(s)
 dpc = wx.DatePickerCtrl(frame, style=wx.DP_ALLOWNONE | wx.DP_SHOWCENTURY |
 wx.DP_DROPDOWN)
 s.Add(dpc)
 dt = wx.DateTimeFromDMY(3, 1, 1959)
 dpc.SetValue(dt)
 frame.Show()
 app.MainLoop()
 # End code

 Run that and the control will be set to February 3, 1959. But that's not
 the selected date in the controls when you click to get the drop-down.

 I have confirmed that in Windows XP, this control performs correctly.
