Well there are two problems:
1) Audacity 1.2.x supports wxGTK 2.4.x not 2.6.x, so I would expect
problems.
2) We support wxGTK not wxX11, which is an incomplete implementation
lacking amongst other things some file chooser dialogues.

It should do - it's a generic class for on-the-fly opening of dynamic
link libraries regardless of platform, so dll on windows and .so on
linux. It is depreciated in 2.6, and the audacity CVS head is replaced
by wxDynamicLibrary calls.

It remains in audacity 1.2.x for compatibility, as this code is now in
maintenance only, with all new work in HEAD (1.3.x).
