The code is identical on both. 

I sort-of found the problem. I'm using Ubuntu Linux, and I found both
Python 2.3 and 2.4 installed. /usr/bin/python was 2.4, but things still
weren't working quite right, so I uninstalled all of the 2.3 packages. 

Suddenly everything works. Not entirely sure why, but I guess the 2.4
interpreter was picking up libraries it shouldn't, or something.

Whether a new or old style class depends on wxPython, since my code is
subclassing from wx.Frame. I was concerned since the code is identical
on both platforms, but losing the 2.3 cruft seems to have fixed
something. 

Thanks,
Mike
