It looks like the direct cause of the problem is that the XMLRPC subclass
in the example prevents XMLRPC.__init__ from being invoked.  It seems to
be doing this by subclassing both wx.App and XMLRPC.  There's probably
no good reason to subclass both of these, and in this case it's causing a
problem, as presumably wx.App has an __init__ which is getting in the way.
