Hmm, I did run cvsup this morning (after running into trouble).  If you
changed the port yesterday this could explain why I had the non-working
wxgtk installed while the patch was present on my system.

Good.  To avoid the problem that I had, can you make the wxPython port
depend on this specific version of wxGTK?

Certainly.  It took me half a day, but now I do have a working wxPython
2.4.1.2.

No, the files are supposed to be part of the wxPython source archive,
thus you should be able to use them just for wxPython.  However, looking
at the unpacked archive I don't see how it works.  Perhaps you can ask
details from Robin, it seems he may use a version of wxGTK from CVS in a
next version as well.  The problem would come back then.

Fine with me, I'm happy now.  Thanks for your prompt response!
