OK, now I see that (I missed it before, which is why I also missed
the wxColourDatabase :/)

Since C++ doesn't always map to Perl very well, I had grepped my Wx =
directory for
'Colour', but didn't see anything relating to Wx::Colour, which left me =
even more
confused. And since my grep didn't return something I recognized, I =
started guessing.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

Now, any info about the crashes?
