-It seems that some versions of RedHat include a badly patched version of GTK (not wxGTK)

which causes some trouble with wxWindows' socket code. Common symptoms are that when
a client tries to establish a connection to an existing server which refuses the request,
the client will get notified twice, first getting a LOST event and then a CONNECT event.
on a 2.1.X system. It will then run on practically all
Linux distros (if you link you app statically against
the image libraries and std C++ lib)."

+No, this is not possible. It leads to crashes in GTK+.

+
+In wxGTK, the frames never get focus and so can never receive <tt>CHAR</tt>
+nor <tt>KEY</tt> events so an <tt>EVT_CHAR</tt> handler for a frame will be
+never called. To receive these events, you should create a <tt>wxPanel</tt>
+inside the frame and register the key event handlers for the panel, not the
+frame.
