Apparently, that has to be built from source as 2.9.x is not in the 
repositories. I can do that, but I get an error message that GStreamer is 
not found. However, according to my package manager, GStreamer is 
installed on the system.

The source you need is wxPython-2.9.4.0 not 2.8. Sorry.

to apply the patch go to the wxPython-src-2.9.4.0 directory (not the 
wxPython directory that it contains) and type:

patch -p0 < path/to/the/patch/file

Let us know if that works!

However, /usr/include/wx-2.8 certainly seems to contain all the relevant 
files addressed by the patch. What am I missing?
