 The main problem is handling of the event/message loop. It's possible to
use wxWidgets without letting it run the main event loop but it's easier to
let it do it. If you do need to have both SDL and wx event loops in the
same program then the simplest way to manage it is probably indeed to use
different threads. In this case you must do all wxWidgets operations
(starting from instantiating wxApp-derived object) from one thread only.
