 internally (e.g. for anything you type into a text field). That will get
 converted to a byte string (either by wxWidgets or by Python) by the time
 that it's passed to d.text, and it will probably use the locale's encoding
 to perform the conversion.

 Whatever encoding I specify, e.g. ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8, Polish non-ASCII
 chars are always rendered correct. I'm not sure if this is normal - when I
 specify ISO-8859-1 I'd expect those chars to be rendered wrong.

 As for the original bug report, it is fixed. Remaining issues:

 1. The text overlay dialog is missing a show/hide checkbox.

 2. If multiple labels are added, dragging them with a *right* mouse key
 does some strange swapping.
