Colin,

I can reproduce exactly the problem you're reporting whilst using Xgl. 
For anyone who's interested what's causing it, it seem to be the 
conversion from wxBitmap to wxImage. Which we seem to be doing an awful 
lot, would it be possible to do it on demand like we do the actual 
loading of bitmaps?
