@ Phil and Pedro: I am beginning to wonder whether something that is being done differently but legitimately by VirtualBox is highlighting some subtle bug we have in the Linux wxwidgets code that doesn't happen to show any symptoms for the non-VirtualBox'd case. @Phil: I am just going to go ahead and merge Pedro's patch (once he gets it to me in "git format-patch" form) to SF master since it apparently solves his "VirtualBox" issue (if we can call it that) without messing up the Linux success we have on non-VirtualBox'ed Linux. But if you have any qualms about his changes, feel free to either contact me immediately (if you are not sleeping now) or ask me to revert my merge of his work tomorrow.
