What namespace is "model" in? Maybe you don't have access to it in the 
SetUserPrefs() method -- should it be self.model? wx.GetApp().model?

Have you got your app set up so that you see the standard error 
messages? If there is an error in a callback, wxPython won't stop, but 
it will print an error, so you want to make sure you can see those when 
testing.

Again -- make a small, self-contained sample, and we can really tell you 
what's going on (or, quite likely, you'll figure it out yourself when 
you isolate the code).
