This is, without a doubt, a bug with wxPython 2.4 or the code that is 
using it.  I *was* able to get his program to work as expected by 
changing some of the menu initialization code, and I sent it to him 
off-list, but apparently it doesn't work for him.  Also, the example 
trivially ported to wxPython 2.5 also does not have this problem, but 
he can't or won't port to wxPython 2.5.
