In Unix (Solaris), when calling wxMenu.Append or wxMenu.Insert with a label that contains a '/' (i.e. /home/gsuberri/python), wxMenu.GetLabel(id) returns a string with the slashes reversed (i.e. \home\gsuberri\python). Any idea why?

Because GTK uses the slashes to denote submenus, so wx is changing the '/' text to '\'. I don't know if there is a way around it or not...

FYI,
There is some difference with the gtk2 build of wxWindows/
wxPython2.4.1.2. For example, this menu item
menu = wx.Menu()
menu.Append(id, '/one/two/three', ...)
does show up as "/one/two/tree' in the menu, i.e. with just
forward slashes. But the result returned by
menu.GetLabel(id)
is "\/one\/two\/three" after printing it to stdout. It may
even be "\\/one\\/two\\/three"?

How can I tell if I am on a system that will do that?

It's "escaping" the forward slashes so they can still be ued as forward slashes and not interpreted as submenus. I would have expected that to be done with the gtk1 version too, and it may still be able to be. Please enter a bug report about it.
