 Thanks for the quick reply.
 
 I don't understand why this patch wasn't already applied, since the
 wxgtk-2.4.1 port was installed.  I'll attempt doing "make deinstall" and
 "make install".  Since the version number is the same this shouldn't be
 necessary...  But it appears it does help.
 
 Then the bug is: why isn't the correct wxgtk installed?  Perhaps the
 version number is wrong.
 
 Note that Robin Dunn, the author of wxPython, recommends using the wxGTK
 included with wxPython instead of a separate one, with the reason that
 small version differences may cause trouble.  Quote:

 I tried following the instructions in README.1st.txt but didn't get
 through the configure phase.
