Well, as much as we would like it to be, wxPython is not quite "write 
once, run everywhere", but rather "write once, test everywhere". There 
are still platform differences, and there always will be, as the 
"wrapping" approach of wxWidgets makes them inevitable.

That's why it's important to test on all platforms you want to deploy on 
from the very beginning -- while there are differences, many of them 
(like this one) are the result of one platform tolerating less than 
optimum coding style. In any case, it is very rare that there is not a 
solution that works on all platforms, like you found here.
