The 2.2 release did have problems running with wxPython 2.5.  We are 
moving in the direction of wx2.5 for the next release, but will maintain 
compatibility with wx2.4 if possible.

The movie viewer was written for the 2.1.2 release.  The 2.2 release 
introduced module structure changes that require some small changes in 
that code.  We should detail these changes to help people who have to 
make them; meanwhile, we're happy to address issues that people run into.
