After Upgrading to wxPython/wxGTK-2.3.2.1, the wxVTKRenderWindow (in
wxPython.lib) causes X to freeze and a Ctrl-Atl-Backsp is required to
get the system back.
The wxVTKRenderWindow works fine in wxPython/wxGTK-2.3.1-2 on the same
system. The Python code (vtk.py) is identical for the two versions. I
would think this is a wxGTK issue (hence posting this to wx-dev-list)
Anyone got any ideas? I'm using the pre-compiled rpm-binaries. I'll try
recompiling things locally, just in case...

Sorry, I don't know enough about VTK to adequately maintain this and so I
rely on contributors to do it, who have been fairly silent lately.

There were some fundamental changes in wxPython internals between 2.3.1 and
2.3.2.1 dealing with how the Python global interpreter lock is aquired and
how thread states are restored. It could be that this conflicts with VTK's
Python packages somehow...
