The issues were asserts, missing icons and a crash on exit.  I tracked 
it down to a wx module that was loaded by pip in my user cache from when 
I was testing gtk3 builds.  Yay, python.  Removing it cleared all 
issues.

We can currently choose the wx version we link against using 
-DwxWidgets_CONFIG_OPTIONS="--toolkit=gtk2".  I'd prefer to retain that 
ability rather than having Cmake try to figure it out.  Maybe we make 
that option more user-friendly?

Best-
