I don't think you can avoid this reliably, although I'm not familiar
with wxPython.  What if the dialog box is completely gone and
forgotten by the second click?  The click won't have to wait around in
any buffers, it'll just be processed.

I wonder if the dialog box could be convinced to hang around and
discard clicks until two or three times the double-click interval.
I'm not sure this is something I'd want.  Perhaps saving a file could
reset the painting tool to a no-op tool?
