I see a lot of places where I expected to see
SetSizer >>and didn't see it.
Doh! You are right -- I missed it in the
MainWindow. Added it and it looks fine on
Linux now. I am still curious why the Windows
version of wxPython apparently did not need
the SetSizer in order to display properly.
Thanks again for the above solution!

No matter how how the wx dev team tries -- there are always going to be some platform differences - it really is "write once -- test everywhere".
However, as you've seen, most of the time, the difference is that one platform or another is more forgiving of a particular mistake in your code -- if it's written according to the docs, it generally works on all supported platforms.
You might want to add this particular instance to:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/wxPython_Platform_Inconsistencies
My only advise is to test on all the platforms you can as early in the development process as possible -- it's much easier to catch mistakes like this early.

One of the C++ devs put it like this the other day: We can ensure that correctly written code does work correctly on all the platforms, but we can not ensure that wrongly written code does *not* work on all platforms.
In other words, some mistakes may work fine (or good enough to not notice the problem) on some platforms.
