 A static box is a rectangle drawn around other panel items to denote
 a logical grouping of items.
 
+Please note that a static box should {\bf not} be used as the parent for the
+controls it contains, instead they should be siblings of each other. Although
+using a static box as a parent might work in some versions of wxWidgets, it
+results in a crash under, for example, wxGTK. 
+
+Also, please note that because of this, the order in which you create new 
+controls is important. Create your wxStaticBox control {\bf before} any 
+siblings that are to appear inside the wxStaticBox in order to preserve the 
+correct Z-Order of controls.
