Hello,

so I'm newly digging my way through the Kicad startup phase, which gets 
my head melting... I can follow the way from getting the KIFACE_1 of the 
dll all the way to a CreateWindow-Call which for example creates a 
SCH_EDIT_FRAME. Now what I could not find out yet is, how is the 
wxApp::ms_appInstance is initialized for the plugin dlls (ie. maybe 
through wxInitialize or the wxApp constructor). I'm asking this because 
I run into crashes in my personal build when a plugin tries to run 
functions which depend on wxGetApp() and the likes, because the dll's 
wxApp::ms_appInstance is nullptr.

Any input on this would be highly appreciated!

Kind Regards
Michael
