Thank you for your e-mail.

1. This isn't just a look-and-feel issue, it's a difference in
behaviour. I do expect things to look slightly different on the two
OSes; I didn't expect different behaviour
I understand, my english is so poor ... "look-and-feel" was shorter and easier for me.
I will learn ...
2. I haven't come across the SetBitmap command yet (I only downloaded
wxPython earlier today, and before that had never used it). I figured
that there had to be some way to replace the bitmap in place, but the
obvious command (Replace) did not exist. Indeed, even now that I know
that SetBitmap exists, I can't find the documentation for it
The
wx.Bitmap documentation doesn't mention the function 
Per my recent post, I found a workaround by calling Refresh() explicitly
For sure, Refresh() is a solution for your problem. But for me that's not 'clean' to replace an widget
when it's just the content that we want to update... that's why I show you the 'setbitmap'.
That's true, there are no information in the doc, but i found some code snippets with Google.
After this consideration, the more important is that it works !!!
Salutation,
Geoffroy

Of course there is: the OP is using wx.StaticBitmap as a
container/displayer for wx.Bitmap, and both the wxPython docs here:
http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.StaticBitmap-class.html
And the wxWidgets docs distributed with the wxPython demo mention the
SetBitmap method:
"""
wxStaticBitmap::SetBitmap
virtual void SetBitmap(const wxBitmap& label)
Sets the bitmap label.
Parameters
label
The new bitmap.
See also
wxStaticBitmap::GetBitmap
