I don't know what is going on. I've experimented using id's of -1, 
wx.NewId(), wx.ID_EXIT, or even not passing the id. In each case, I get 
the same assertion referring to an invalid stockitemid. However, I 
haven't been able to repro this using raw wx code, so something else is 
going on (probably in Dabo) that I need to track down. Why would this 
assert in Windows and not Linux?
