I forgot to mention a use-case for overriding __init__ that I think is 
valid even though I just conjured it up:

If someone is converting from pure-wx over to Dabo, and they already 
have lots of code in __init__, it probably makes sense for them to keep 
their code in __init__, at least initially, so they get something that 
works at first, with the intent to refactor later.
