[Boa Constr] Problem with colors under wxGTK

[Blaine L. <bl...@te...>]

I am using Boa 0.0.5 to develop code for an embedded Linux application.  The
problem I have is the screen colors change occasionally when I enter different
Frames.  Also, if a dialog is closed, the background it covered may change.

Can someone point me where the problem is?  I am hoping it is something like I
have to declare background colors or some such thing...  I have included the top
of the frame declarations below.  One other thing I am wondering about is that I
have my frames nested i.e.:
Fmain = BoaFrame(
in Fmain's __init__ I have
self.Fdiag = BoaFrame
self.Foperator = BoaFrame
etc...  Is this the 'right' way to do things?

Linux environment:
Software:
Debian 2.2
xfree86 3.3.6
wxPython 2.2.5
python 1.5.2 & 2.1.1 (happens under both)

Hardware:
processor / video NS Geode GXM w/5530 companion chip
640x480

I have also confirmed that colors change under VNC.  FYI it is a virtual X server
that acts as a frame buffer on the local machine and can be viewed on any
connected machine with a viewer (therefore I think its not the xserver).

Thank you

If its worth anything, here is the definition of one of the screens that
frequently shows this problem:

    def _init_ctrls(self, prnt):
        wxFrame.__init__(self, size = wxSize(640, 480), id = wxID_BOAFRAME, title
= 'Operator Screen', parent = prnt, name = 'BoaFrame', style = 0, pos =
wxPoint(239, 306))
        self._init_utils()
        self.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(255, 255, 255))
        self.SetFont(wxFont(10, wxMODERN, wxNORMAL, wxNORMAL, false, 'clean'))
        EVT_CLOSE(self, self.OnBoaframeClose)
        EVT_ACTIVATE(self, self.OnBoaframeActivate)

        self.Exit = wxButton(label = 'Back to Main Screen', id =
wxID_BOAFRAMEEXIT, parent = self, name = 'Exit', size = wxSize(128, 59), style =
0, pos = wxPoint(8, 384))
        EVT_BUTTON(self.Exit, wxID_BOAFRAMEEXIT, self.OnExitButton)

        self.Start = wxBitmapButton(bitmap = wxBitmap('start.bmp',
wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP), id = wxID_BOAFRAMESTART, validator = wxDefaultValidator,
parent = self, name = 'Start', size = wxSize(72, 72), style = wxBU_AUTODRAW, pos
= wxPoint(456, 368))
        self.Start.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(255, 255, 255))
        EVT_BUTTON(self.Start, wxID_BOAFRAMESTART, self.OnStartButton)

        self.Stop = wxBitmapButton(bitmap = wxBitmap('stop.bmp',
wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP), id = wxID_BOAFRAMESTOP, validator = wxDefaultValidator,
parent = self, name = 'Stop', size = wxSize(72, 72), style = wxBU_AUTODRAW, pos =
wxPoint(544, 368))
        EVT_BUTTON(self.Stop, wxID_BOAFRAMESTOP, self.OnStopButton)

        self.staticBitmap1 = wxStaticBitmap(bitmap = wxBitmap('logo.bmp',
wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP), id = wxID_BOAFRAMESTATICBITMAP1, parent = self, name =
'staticBitmap1', size = wxSize(160, 64), style = 0, pos = wxPoint(392, 30))

        self.a = wxPanel(size = wxSize(264, 320), id = wxID_BOAFRAMEA, parent =
self, name = 'a', style = wxTAB_TRAVERSAL, pos = wxPoint(16, 48))
