"Slow focus" when handling wxEVT_SET_FOCUS

Calling event.Skip() does indeed solve the problem! Could you please
elaborate why I should call Skip() in the SetFocus() event handler? I
did not find this suggestion in Julian's "Cross-Platform GUI
Programming with wxWidgets" book.

Or is this merely a workaround for some oddity in the wxGTK code?

  ubuntu-6.06 $ sudo apt-get install wx-common wx2.6-doc wx2.6-examples
wx2.6-headers
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree... Done
  wx-common is already the newest version.
  wx2.6-doc is already the newest version.
  wx2.6-examples is already the newest version.
  wx2.6-headers is already the newest version.

  ubuntu-6.06 $ wx-config --version
  2.6.1

Perhaps the new Ubuntu 6.10 ships with 2.6.3?

Thanks a lot for your help!
