To Pedro and Phil:

Since we are all running out of time not only because of family activities
during this season but also because the release date is only 6 days
from now, I suggest we come up with a quick compromise fix for this
release even if you guys don't completely understand why it works.

Here is my suggestion for such a fix.

@Pedro:

It appears your proposed solution to swap the order in which Yield and
Show are called works on your CentOS platform which has always given
you the most trouble.  So that sounds promising for a quick fix, but
please also test your proposed solution on all platforms accessible to
you including your Windows platform (just in case a change since you
last tested that platform has somehow clobbered wxwidgets on that
platform).  If it works on all of them please prepare the relevant
commit (with a tested by: paragraph listing all the platforms you
tested for future reference just in case we run into trouble with this
part of our wxwidgets-related software ever again) and send it to me
for one final test that it also works here. Assuming all those tests
work, I will push that commit, and we will be done with this bug for
at least this release!
