Without some sort of sample app that reproduces the problem it's a bit
difficult to draw whatever conclusion about this. Maybe the wxWidgets
gurus may be a bit more precise than me, but it's way too hard to shot
a suggestion in the dark without some code to play with. It's like
going to the car rapair guy and say: "The car is broken. Fix it." :-D
