Sure, there is a load of things to avoid with wx.
Mouse events for instance are (were 2 years ago) living
as a local variable on the stack, so if you want a tasklet
driven mouse driver (which is very nice), you need to
save all mouse status in an extra object and pass that to
the driver.
wxYield I know nothing about, but using concurrent
stack switching approaches is of course a bad idea.

As said this example is not about wx, but some idea
how to patch time-aware behavior into stackless.
