It is a bug that causes the self.this object to be set incorrectly.  (A 
SWIG typemap is used when it probably shouldn't be.)  I fixed a similar 
problem for wx.ImageList a few days ago, and I planned on checking the 
other types that also use a similar typemap, but it slipped my mind. 
I've now done it for 2.7.1.3.

The thisown attribute is now a property that maps to the this.own method.

Thanks.  This is easily fixed.
