A bit better here on Fedora 12, also using swig 1.3.40. The wxGUI nviz 
works, the wxdigitizer crashes. Removed swig 1.3.40, got swig 1.3.29, 
patched that with the patch provided in the wxPython source code, now 
everything is working, no errors. One warning at grass startup:
warnings.warn("wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch")
because Fedora 12 comes with wxBase and wxGTK 2.8.10 and wxPython 2.8.9, 
but it works.

Ubuntu 9.10 uses wx packages 2.8.10 throughout together with swig 
1.3.36, both wx nviz and wx digitizer work just fine.
