It's very likely that improvements to wxWidgets have contributed to  
this. 2.5.3 is six months old, and considering the rate at which the  
Mac port has been moving, that's a very long time. Particularly since  
the last couple months have been focused on bug fixing. Had we known  
Apple was bundling wx we probably could have pushed a few things off  
and moved the bug testing up... Unfortunately, we didn't, so the  
wxPython included with Tiger is missing out on a lot of good bug  
fixes. ;-/

Thanks,

Kevin
