For the the static text this isn't necessary anymore, it has been fixed
(hopefully) this morning, please retest with CVS HEAD (stattext.cpp
revision should be 1.69) and if not fixed, report back

We have a facility called wxSystemOptions, this is kind of a system wide
hashtable that can be used to tune behavior at runtime, ie if there are
two implementation, both having their advantages and their
disadvantages, then you can switch the default at runtime,

This was the link Kevin gave you :

http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/docs/wxwin_wxsystemoption
s.html#wxsystemoptions

ie to use the 'generic' list control implementation instead of the
native list control, in your app init you write

wxSystemOptions::SetOption( wxT("mac.listctrl.always_use_generic"), 1 );

this value is 0 default, leading to a native list control, and with the
line above you set it to 1 getting the generic (old) implementation

Best
