In the wxGlade dialog for editing menu items there is an "id" field for
items. I had left it blank and I believe that's why each item had an id of
"-1" (I think this prompts the code to auto-assign some id to these
objects). On the guess that this "id" field might actually name that menu
choice (i.e. you might have a button called enable_ssl_button that kicks off
a function called enable_ssl), I entered an id ("close_cw_menu_item") for
the close_cw menu item. Then when I generate code, running it returns a
squawk "NameError: global name 'close_cw_menu_item' is not defined....
