Hi Brian, I'm not sure how dependent is wxPython on Cairo, if it's
recommended as '0' but they enable it,
may by it's needed. But it's just a feeling, 0-knowledge.

Do you have some branch for this that I could replicate and play around to
figure out what's happening?
or it's tested manually at the moment?

Also a binary package (with some debug info) could do the trick for me

I'd like to trace that wxpython init call down, and find where does it stop
(and why).

Thanks a lot for your effort,

Mike,
