Thanks Michel

I tested it more, and I confirm: having 2.6 cousing problmes with 
wx.combo, but this not allow install aplications depending on wxPython2.6
The only solution is to install 2.6 on very fresh system, next 2.8 next 
other aplication. But At least two aplications on Ubuntu installed from 
repos (for examle wxGlade and pgAdmin3 if installed after) made wx2.6 
default

I don't know if idea of depending wxGRASS on at least 2.8.1 is good idea 
(I red this in last Jachym article on his page). Generally most ubuntu 
application are dependend on wx2.6. I don't know if following example is 
good but may give you addational asspumtion:
Probably every grass user know pgadmin3 (postgreSQL manager) for now in 
ubuntu repositories is version 1.4.3 depending on wx2.6. I asked 
developers why not 1.6.1 wchich is more advanced. It is because, 1.6.1 
is dependend on wx2.8, ad as long as they will not be sure if wx2.8 is 
fully compatibile with other aplications they will not add 1.6.1

that all I can say

greetings and tahnks for all your effort on new (and better) grasss 
interface

BTW: I sbscribed grassgui list so next massages on wxGRASS I will post there
