Okay, I just found another problem, reproducible with the Menu.py example:

--- Menu.py.orig        2006-12-08 11:49:41.000000000 -0800
+++ Menu.py     2006-12-22 09:04:45.000000000 -0800

          item = wx.MenuItem(menu5, 500, "&Smile!\tCtrl+S", "This one 
has an icon")
          item.SetBitmap(images.getSmilesBitmap())
          menu5.AppendItem(item)
+        menu5.RemoveItem(item)
+        menu4.AppendItem(item)
+        #item.Destroy()

          # Shortcuts
          menu5.Append(501, "Interesting thing\tCtrl+A", "Note the 
shortcut!")


====
We already know that the commented item.Destroy() segfaults in wx2.8.0.1 
but not in wx 2.6. What we know now is that while the RemoveItem() works 
fine in both, the AppendItem() does not (segfault in 2.8).

The good news is that I believe all the remaining issues in Dabo come 
down to this problem. We tend to move menu items around...

It is possible we are seeing similar trouble with removing/adding items 
to sizers, but I don't have proof of that yet.

Thanks
Paul
