 Unless you have a specific reason to need wxX11 port you should probably
use wxGTK which is much more mature (and much more widely used).

 I really don't know what's going on and as usual in such case the best
thing to do would be to attempt to reproduce the problem in one of the
existing samples (minimal one or maybe grid if it's grid-specific).

 It's very difficult to debug such problem without being able to reproduce
it. Another advice I can give is to build wx in debug mode, then you would
get asserts from it if you use it incorrectly somewhere (and it will be
also useful for actually debugging, of course).
