wxAppConsole does not receive events on OSX

[Eran Ifrah]

Hi,

System: OSX 10.9
wxWidgets: 3.0

I have a small console app that perform a simple logic:
- Start 2 threads
- Respond to events from the threads ( I am using CallAfter from the
secondary threads )

It seems as if the wxAppConsole does not receive any events from the
background threads (to be 100% sure, I also added some OnIdle and Timer to
see that if they will get caught in the app)
Change my App class to subclass "wxApp" (as opposed to wxAppConsole) - and
the events are arriving properly.

I would use this workaround, but it has one major drawback:
The console app is a child of a GUI application, so whenever the GUI
application forks the console app - I am getting another icon in the dock
bar... which looks bad

I searched the internet for something similar and I found an _exact_ same
bug report:

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/15615

Any workarounds?
