Here is a sample program that creates a small frame and adds a toolbar
with 2 wxStaticText controls.  Under both KDE and Gnome (on both
redhat 7.3 and 8.0) the static text will disappear anytime you resize
the frame.  The only way to get it back is to give focus to another
window, and then focus to the frame.


from wxPython.wx import *

ID_ABOUT = 101
ID_EXIT  = 102

class MyFrame(wxFrame):
    def __init__(self, parent, ID, title):
        wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title,
                         wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(400, 250))


        self.toolBar =
self.CreateToolBar(wxTB_HORIZONTAL|wxTB_3DBUTTONS, NewId(), "ToolBar")

        #add state combo boxs
        id = NewId()
        self.toolBar.AddControl(wxStaticText(self.toolBar, id, "Static
Text 1: "))

        id = NewId()
        self.toolBar.AddControl(wxStaticText(self.toolBar, id, "Static
Text 2: "))


        self.toolBar.Realize()



class MyApp(wxApp):
    def OnInit(self):
        frame = MyFrame(NULL, -1, "Hello from wxPython")
        frame.Show(true)
        self.SetTopWindow(frame)
        return true

app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()
