You'd use wxWindows *voluntarily* ?!?

I'm not aware of anyone trying this - but if you can wrestle wxWindows into doing *anything*
in the way of an OpenGL window, then SSG should work OK.

Good luck though - after my last "experiences" with wxWindows, I truly, deeply, advise you
to look at something else.  FLTK maybe?  GTK?

I can't imagine why not - but wxWindows is *so* strange, it may well have set up some really
wacky OpenGL modes before it draws.
