Hm, I just tried it with 2.8 on Windows and it works, both in my
application and in the pyDocViewDemo.
So, I think I'll try installing wx 2.8 on my Linux box.
Unfortunately, there's still only 2.6 in the Gentoo repository,
so I'll have to install it by hand :-(. Or I'll go looking for
an overlay that contains 2.8.

Haven't tried the docManager.CreateView() path yet because I am
not in the office today, but judging from the source code of
that method I don't think that this would change anything, as
it just searches for a doc template, calls CreateView() on it
and sets the name of the window.

But anyway, thank you for trying to reproduce that problem and
pointing me in this direction.
