I don't know.  I can't duplicate this behavior, although the wxStaticTexts
don't necessarily update right away under Linux (I'm actually testing using
Debian under coLinux under Win2K).  You may need to add some calls to yield
while your program is loading to make sure that it repaints properly.  That
seems to help me.

Here's the code I tested with.  When I only call Yield once, the 
wxStaticTexts don't show their information until wxMain is called.

-- Created using wxIDE
include wxEuphoria.e
include wxText.e

global constant
Jerry = create( wxFrame, {0, -1, "new_wxFrame_3", 0, 0, 497, 383 }),
new_wxPanel_1 = create( wxPanel, {Jerry, -1, 0, 0, 496, 382 }),
new_wxStaticText_1 = create( wxStaticText, {new_wxPanel_1, -1,
"new_wxStaticText_1", 85, 50, 185, 25 }),
new_wxStaticText_2 = create( wxStaticText, {new_wxPanel_1, -1,
"new_wxStaticText_2", 60, 123, 258, 54 })
object void
show_window( Jerry, 1 )
atom t
t  =time()
? t
for i = 1 to 2 do
	void = call_member( wxApp_Yield, myApp_this, {1})
end for
sleep(3)
? time()

wxMain( Jerry )
