class OneFrame(wx.Frame)

In order to support item assignment the `__setitem__` method must be 
defined.  I do not see that in the `OneFrame` class, so unless 
`wx.Frame` has it, it won't work.

My question is:  should `data` actually be a `OneFrame` object, or 
should it be some other namespace/object?
