No, this looks like a bug in how overloaded class member functions declared
in more than one base class are handled. What you're seeing is that the
call to GetClientData() is actually calling the  wxEvtHandler base class
function, similarly, SetClientData(n, val) also calls the wxEvtHandler
function. This will require some work to fix it right.
