The problem appears to be that simply importing the wxPython module
already makes the connection to the X server.

I would call this a problem in wxPython, it shouldn't do real work when
only importing the modules.

Avoiding this problem is tricky.  It requires postponing all imports
that use wxPython until after checking for --version.  But it can be
done!  Get version 0.119 when it's there (next week).
