Upgrading to the 2.5.5.1 release of wxPython cleared up the problem with
saveFileDialog (it now returns the absolute path)

But, after upgrading I get error messages from PythonCard apps with
multicolumnlist controls. 

here's the stack trace:

  File "/home/stevec/sandbox/PythonCard/components/multicolumnlist.py", line 502, in _setItems
    self.resizeLastColumn(self.GetColumnWidth(numcols-1))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wx-2.5.5-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/mixins/listctrl.py", line 212, in resizeLastColumn
    self.resizeColumn(self, minWidth)
TypeError: resizeColumn() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)



If I comment-out line 502 of PythonCard/components/multicolumnlist.py, things
appear to work OK.


Upgrading to 2.5.5.1 also fixed another intermittent problem I was
having.  (when I set an Image control to a new file, on one set of
images an error dialog would pop-up complaining about large files not
being supported... I can't remember the exact message)
