I think that has to depend on how much you're getting paid ;-)
If using a new wx feature makes the code easier to write, your users
should value your efforts enough to bother upgrading their libraries.
Of course, raising the barrier to entry for users doesn't win you users,
so e.g. I'm not depending on perl 5.10 anywhere until lenny goes
stable.
In your case, perhaps omitting the feature by checking the wxWidgets
version will work? Then at least the basic functionality is there so
the user can try it and be enticed to upgrade their dependencies?
