Yes, I see the same thing.  Its actually remarkable that the earlier
version works at all with 2.5.2.8.  A lot has changed in wxPython.  I
guess, we'll have to fix the widgets to work with both 2.4.x and
2.5.x.  I'll try and get this done sometime.  In the meanwhile you
might want to make a local copy of the wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor.py
and try to fix it.
