You can only have one wx.App object per process.  Creating more than one 
concurrently or sequentially may or may not work in various situations 
or on various platforms, but it is not supported at all.

No, the name to ID mapping is held in a global list, so it will be 
shared by all instances.  This will result in the same ID being used for 
the same name.  What exactly are the problems you are having with this?
