well, I had a good look at the wxPythonGTK code (use the source, Luke) 
and it turned out that the documentation is wrong, indeed: the returned 
handle is already an X-Windows window ID. This leaves me with the 
problem how to retrieve the corresponding Display, of course. And this 
time I see little opportunity to retrieve it, since the window handle is 
just an ID. It may finally be necessary to switch over to pyGTK, indeed.

Thanks for your help!
