I've committed this patch to VTK 4.x as well.  On my windows box
(wxPython 2.3.2) it didn't freeze, but the window height was
set incorrectly.  It looks like the GetSize() attribute of the size
events is messed up for splitter windows (i.e. probably a bug in
wxMSW).  The RenderWindow::SetSize() doesn't seem to be necessary
on Windows (it must be handled internally) so I just chopped it out.

For some reason,  Robin Dunn only links the 2.3.x wxPython distribution
from his web site.  You can go directly to the sourceforge download page
