Skinnable/Stylable windows in wxPython?

No, I think that was a slip on my part when copying the code from one
screen to the next :)

I noted in my second post that the functionality of the window
(clicking and dragging et al) was, even in the wxPopupWindow demo,
implemented by using the EVT macros. Copied from the demo, the code is
as follows:

def OnMouseLeftDown(self, evt):
    self.ldPos = evt.GetEventObject().ClientToScreen(evt.GetPosition())
    self.wPos = self.GetPosition()
    self.CaptureMouse()

def OnMouseMotion(self, evt):
    if evt.Dragging() and evt.LeftIsDown():
        dPos = evt.GetEventObject().ClientToScreen(evt.GetPosition())
        nPos = (self.wPos.x + (dPos.x - self.ldPos.x),
                self.wPos.y + (dPos.y - self.ldPos.y))
        self.Move(nPos)

def OnMouseLeftUp(self, evt):
    self.ReleaseMouse()

def OnRightUp(self, evt):
    self.Show(False)
    self.Destroy()

That's interesting... I wonder if using those methods would conflict
at all. Also, while I'm on that note, when double clicking on the
resulting window (after binding those events), double click causes a
non-fatal, yet annoying, traceback saying that "the mouse could not be
released because it has not yet been caught blah blah", so I just
wrapped the contents of OnMouseLeftUp in a try..except..pass.
