I guess it's independent of screen resolution, because that's
exactly what I see, and I know you use a different resolution.

If what we released at that time was exactly what's tagged as
'lmi-20080125T1921Z', *and* we built wx using the lmi makefiles
at that time, then (and only then) I'd say the behavior changed
between wx-2.8.6 and the wx-2.8.9 we're using today:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/lmi/lmi/install_wx.make?r1=1.6&r2=1.7&diff_format=u
...
-wx_version    := 2.8.6
+wx_version    := 2.8.7

But I tend to doubt that. OTOH, when you say:

I guess you're reading the version number from the name of the
wx dll, e.g., 'wxmsw270_gcc_342.dll', which might be from an
older 'wx-cvs-All-2006-06-05.tar.bz2' snapshot. That seems more
likely: IIRC, it wasn't until about 2008-02 that we kept the wx
library that we distribute synchronized with 'install_wx.make'.
