For you Linux users who want to try to compile wxWorkshop in the Linux_v0_80 CVS branch, or from wxDeveloperStudio in the Head Branch of CVS, there is the following workaround in wxWIdgets that will keep the program from segfaulting when Opening a file:

In wxWidgets-2.6.2/src/gtk/filedlg.cpp,
try putting this after the #include "wx/filedlg.h"

#ifdef __WXGTK24__
#undef __WXGTK24__
#endif

so that wxGTK reverts to generic file dialog behaviour. 

The problem appears to be in the OpenFileDialog::ShowModal() function and I am still looking into that problem. This fix will have wxGTK use the Generic File Open Dialog Box that is working. Another announcement will be made once the problem has been fixed.

This problem has been reported to both the wxWidgets and Gentoo's Bug Tracking Systems. (wxWidgets Bug Tracker #1287999).
