My terminology was wrong.  The button has "focus".  It's not the
"default" button.

The only way I could work around it was to set the focus to another
widget (but not another button as that doesn't work, even though first
button can get focus as startup).  I did have a textctrl which I use as
a read-only console log.  I set the focus to that and now none of the
buttons have focus and look good.  It's a bit weird having a read-only
widget have focus.

It's still a kludge in my opinion.  What if I had no other (input)
widgets to force focus on?

Now, with this work around of setting the textctrl to have focus,
wxglade preview window still has the button with focus, not the
textctrl.  I assume this is a bug in wxglade.
