Yes it is not comfortable. The real advantage is the licence and the
portability. It is exciting to develop so easy cross platform with
wxWindows, contrary I see many trouble about this on an other project.
-by the way: Your code compiles fine.-

At the moment (wx)PTOpenGui code is mostly clean splitted into function
and ui code. Loading from xml resources files would be great. Even at the
moment I dont know. With wxPhyton this would be no problem, but it speakes
against mac/win users - they would need to install an pyhton interpreter,
even for the gui.
I will search for an xml capable wx-gui builder. -Is XRC an gui?-

I would take over the gui stuff as most as I can.

I hope not to stay too long with this. Other project want as well.
