 AFAICS it works in the sense that it does exactly what you do in it, that
is nothing. What do you expect your code to do anyhow? Setting background
brush is not enough, you need to actually draw something with it. Or call
the base class version doing it.

 Besides, if you just want to change the background colour to red I'd
rather call SetBackgroundColour(*wxRED) than override this virtual
function.
