There haven't been any releases of 2.5 yet (not even betas) so
I haven't been touching it (yet).  Once 2.5 is available I
do want to move to it quickly.

Sadly that isn't true.

The XY methods are not present in 2.4 so there would have to
be conditional code depending on the wx version.  I am definitely
not going to put that in while developers would still have to
compile their own copy of wxPython.

It looks like pubsub is being changed somewhat drastically.

I can see the wx issues with having those as class variables and
will put in a fix.

pubsub is needed for things to work correctly.  The program
will appear to run without it, but the category list will
end up being blank and being saved out that way.  I am
also about to use it for maintaining the lists of wallpaper
and ringtones.
