Comment:

 No such error when wxgui uses wxPython 2.8 instead of 3.0.2. If you can't
 install 2.8 without 3.0.2 (like on Arch Linux, where 2.8 package requires
 3.0.2 package), add

 {{{
 wxversion.select('2.8')
 }}}

 in line 64 of gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py to force wxgui to pick
 version 2.8. Otherwise it defaults to 3.0.2 when both wxPython versions
 are available.

 Any objections to submitting this patch to SVN?

 The issue applies to both 7.x and 6.x. The "Create bivariate scatter plot
 of raster maps" and "Create histogram of raster map" tools are affected as
 well, and the {{{wxversion.select('2.8')}}} fixes them too.
