It's not possible. The problem is wxPython's particular distinction
between a 'frame', which they see as simply an outer shell, and
panels, which they see as the basic building blocks. wx.Frame is
pretty lame for anything except the external windowing functions.
What we had proposed in the pass is automagically adding a panel to
every form, and intercepting all calls to adding objects to the form
and add them to the panel instead. That proved problematic from both
a practical and a conceptual point of view, and so the decision was
to leave things as they are, and simply require developers to add the
panel themselves. It trips up most newcomers, but once you are aware
of the limitation, it becomes pretty automatic.
