Brian,

   That sunk in after I responded to your message. I realize, too, that I
should have a wx.DirDialog() in this method as well as in the createNew()
method.

   Adding the dialog directory resolved the gtk+2 complaint; it was a bad
directory choice. As a side note, even though the wx.CHANGE_DIR style is
presented, there is no change directory button on my linux display.

   Still, the FD_ prefixes generate squeals of discomfort from python, but
the dialog is working quite well without them.

   So, three out of four ain't bad at all. Thank you -- and the others -- for
your help.

Rich
