No menu, and it doesn't come to the front until I click it. But I don't 
get burps or bad behavior.

It's looking like my hunch is right. The Mac seems to need some special 
TLC to get menus working. Look at this thread from the wxPython list:

http://lists.wxwindows.org/archive/wxPython-mac/msg00052.html

And I'm not sure what part of this information might be relevant:

Yesterday I downloaded RubyCocoa, and I got this error sometimes in 
those programs, too. I found an explanation via Google:

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20021211054158940

"Having been plagued by this pretty much harmless error in my log files 
for a long while, I finally googled and came up with what was creating 
the following error message:
## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias 
of type (regR/carP/x!bt)
What's causing the message is the "Toast Video CD Support.qtx" file in 
/Library/QuickTime. If you don't need Toast Video CD support in 
QuickTime, you can get rid of that file, and the error all in one step. 
"

The important bit for me/us is that this is harmless. I suspected so, 
but it's confirmed. Maybe it should be a Mac FAQ, though, since 
presumably other developers will run into this.

No complaints...just many lines that say "Idle". I entered the window, 
clicked in the window, left the window, etc etc etc...
