This should only happen if you tie up your application with
processing, and it fails to respond. Are you actually using
wxDialog-derived windows? Maybe using wxFrame would help, though if
you don't tie up processing, you may have stumbled on a bug.

If you do tie up processing, you need to yield your process
periodically for GUI updates and event processing.
