Sounds like a bug.  I see that the above module is autogenerated, but I
suppose the problem is that the underlying Eiffel file wx_defs.e has
this misset.

So this looks like us falling afoul of the old maxim: Duplication is the
root of all evil.

Do you think you could possibly investigate how to generate from the
wxWidgets headers directly instead of from our own hard copy?

I believe all the wxHaskell developers are busy, and in any case focused
on getting the new wxcore stuff ( git clone git://github.com/bsl/wxcore )
working better with Windows and integrated into the main Darcs
repository.  If we could polish this work off and fix Conal's GHCi
problem, we could have a really nice release on our hands, gain some
ground back from gtk2hs, native widgets FTW.

PS: I have a snippet of Haskell code to generate application bundles
    directly as a Cabal install hook.  No more silly macosx-app script.
    Perhaps I should stick it on hackage or something...
