I thought about that, but I'd worry about what version of wxGTK any given
user is using.  There is no guarantee that their version will have the same
set of global wxString variables.  If the user were compiling JAZZ, that's one
thing (although if it didn't work, they would have a hard time figuring out
the mismatch), but if the user installs JAZZ from RPM's, there's no way to
fix a mismatch.

A possibly safer approach would be to instantiate an instance of each wxGTK
class that uses global wxStrings.  This might be a little safer, but still
no guarantees against mismatches.

Not sure how to crack this nut.  We may either have to do something like this,
or just tell the users that it's gonna segfault on exit and explain that it's 
not our fault.
