Hi Wanderer,
I don't have a solution for you but I have three suggestions.

First, your program shouldn't be locking up just because you clicked  
on it. IMO that's the real problem, and discarding events is just a  
band-aid to cover it up. Nevertheless, sometimes a band-aid is an  
appropriate solution and you're the best judge of that.

Second, the wxPython mailing list would be a better place for this  
question.

Third, if you can't seem to resolve the problem, try paring it down to  
a minimal example that reproduces the problem. It's difficult to offer  
suggestions when we can't see the whole code or try the sample code  
ourselves.


Good luck
Philip
