Summary: wxFileSelector Broken in Trunk

Initial Comment:
No wxFileSelector seems to work with trunk.  The dialog just doesn't appear.  This problem can be seen in the dialog sample.  Strangely I still get control back to the application, but the window doesn't want to close.

This is on GTK.  I don't know if other platforms are affected.

I tried downgrading src/gtk/dialog.cpp today with:

  svn update -r 51612 dialog.cpp

After rebuilding the library, the sample works fine.  The log for the
first revision after 51612 says something about Show now being called on a
base class rather than wxWindow.  Perhaps that's causing the trouble?

I took out the extra control panel code and I still see (rather, don't
see) the problem.  I upgraded to GTK+ 2.12.5 (I didn't know how to check
the version until after upgrading) and still no dialog.  wx2.8.7 works fine
with both versions.  I tried a fresh checkout of the svn repo, building
with debug, opengl, and unicode.

Stepping through with gdb didn't reveal anything insightful.  ShowModal is
called, but it never returns since there's no actual widget for me to
close.

This is mysterious.  I wish I knew how to better track this down.  The
output of strace doesn't show anything obvious. :(

This must be GTK version specific because running the dialogs sample and
pressing Ctrl-O still works just fine for me with GTK+ 2.8.20. What is your
GTK+ version?

Also, does removing the custom controls stuff from the sample help?

Thanks!
