You are storing the pointer (the memory location) to the specific
wxTreeItemId instance that is returned. You need to use
T = { }
local id = tree:AppendItem ("Foo")
T[id:GetValue()] = "this is my very important data"

There is a class wxLuaTreeItemData that you can use instead of
wxTreeItemData that stores a double valued number. It has the methods
double GetValue() and SetValue(double num). You can use this to create
more complicated mappings if you like.

Here's an updated sample program which shows what you want to do I
think (works in GTK at least). I've pasted it here since the
Sourceforge CVS takes so long
