I'm not sure whether it's a Mac-specific problem for static-boxes, or 
for all components.

The wxWidgets docs talk about controlling z-order by the order of 
component creation - so it would seem that the intent is for it to be 
controllable. I think I'll try to write a little wxPython program (i.e. 
no Pythoncard involved) to demonstrate the issue, and see if we can 
verify that the Mac and PC behave differently. (just in case it's a Mac 
vs PC difference within Python that is causing the controls to be 
created in a different order. I couldn't see anything in model.py that 
looked likely to do that, but then I suspect it won't be that obvious 
anyway.)

If I can get that done, I'll post it for others to try on Mac (and 
hopefully Unix too).
It's either that or I use this as the excuse I needed to buy that Mac 
Mini ...
