The version selection shouldn't be an issue, but defining a minimum
instead a specific version makes it easier to maintain and worked for me
as I don't have 2.6 Unicode on my machine.

Why did you instantiate these before __init__ctrl?

I reordered the code as follows and it still works and gets rid of these
two warning errors (I believe there is a way to define them so the
designer doesn't complain but I can't find the mail from Riaan on how to
do this).

    def __init__(self, parent):
        self._init_ctrls(parent)

        self.config = getConfig()
        self.ingredientGridMap = {}
        # Setup the model from with known constants
        self.recipe = RecipeModel()

        self.SetMenuBar(self.menubar)  # added for Mac compatibility

        Hops.setDefaultForm(self.config.get('brewsta', 'hop_form'))

The above gets rid of the designer error and to me it looks as if the
app still works correctly, but then I might be missing something.

All the rest is GTK errors, that is why I don't get it on my Windows
box.  You might want to post this to the wxPython list.

GTK doesn't like that a new parent is set on a widget, but I can't see
where this is done in your code.
