Yeah, the event handling is a little different.  It should be whatever was
the first parameter in the call to set_event_handler.  So generally, you can
have a control handle its own events, or allow its parent to do that.  

It all makes more sense in an OO environment (which wxWidgets is).  Also,
I've tried to make as many things as possible work similarly to win32lib,
but of course, not every peg manages to fit that round hole, which can lead
to some confusion.  But I think that overall, it's better to be similar,
because it generally leads to a less steep learning curve.
