Both the wxPython.lib.vtk and my wx_vtk.py run perfectly on Debian
GNU/Linux woody (testing) with your cone test example.  I'm using
libgtk1.2-1.2.10, wxwindows/wxpython 2.2.8, vtk 4.0, nVidia's OpenGL
1.0.1541, XFree86 4.1.  I have been using my code since VTK 3.2 so I
doubt if the problem is with VTK.  Maybe downgrade wxwindows and try
again?

Additionally, to see if its not gtk you should test out the
vtk/python/vtkGTKRenderWidget.py thats in vtk 3.2.  This requires
pyGtk.

Are you sure you are using the right accelerated GL libraries and
there aren't problems with mesa libraries lying around?
