[wx 2.8.7, X11, gcc] running wxWidget on Centos 5

[Umashankar]

Hi all,

I started using wxWidgets recently. Initially I created a small grid
application on windows platform and that ran without any glitches.  Then I
tried importing it onto my Linux box running Centos 5. After building the
application (on X11 port), when I try to run it, only the main windown of
the app appears on the screen. I wont be able to see anything on it. It does
not seem like it has crashed because upon debugging, I see that the program
is actually running.

Surprising enough, the same app runs perfectly well on Ubunto without any
problems almost as good as on Windows. I would like to know if here are any
known compatibility issues between wxWidgets and Centos. I am including the
stack for your reference. It would be great if someone can figure out what's
going on. If you need any more information, I will be more than glad to
provide you with it. Thank you in advance.
