Running linux with Python 2.3.4 & wxPython 2.5.3.1.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hey,

  I am just checking in on things briefly in the forums, and will not be back actively to investigate this for a bit, while I pack, find a place to live, and prepare for the drive south.

  When I get back, I will check this out.  I'd suggest filing this as a bug, and attaching an example file that does not work.

You are running wxPython 2.5.3.1 GTK2 Unicode I presume?

I you do not need the unicode, I highly recommend switching to the ansi bit, at least for now.

Got it.  This is locale misbehaving.  I put in a check for this in 3.10.13, which will be out as soon as I can.
