You can always use the SF bug tracker for wxWidgets (at http:// 
www.sf.net/projects/wxwindows), but I'm fairly certain that the  
problem you're having is a limitation of the native control on Mac.  
What you can do to make this work everywhere is create a wx.Panel,  
add it as the dialog's child, and then call SetBackgroundColour on  
the panel. This should give you the desired results.
