 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 wxWindows, it
+results in a crash under, for example, wxGTK.
