Should be.

OK, that's an interesting piece of information.
It seems to be in the python-vtk, as the following line fails:

from vtk.wx.wxVTKRenderWindow import wxVTKRenderWindow

Actually, know that you point it out, this is a know issue. The
wxVTKRenderWindow is depreciated, and does not work with wxpython2.8. The
solution is to use a different RenderWindow, and we switched to that in
newer versions of Mayavi2. There will soon be a new release of mayavi,
and we are planning to push it into hardy-backports. In the mean time you
can get some package that (I believe) do not display this bug on my PPA
(they are a slightly newer version of Mayavi2).

We have a few problems with VTK 5.3 that we want to fix with Mayavi2? and
after that we do a new release. Hopefully in a week. Give another week
for the Debian packages to follow, and the MOTUs to sync with Debian, and
backport, and you should have a nice and shiny new version of Mayavi2,
with this fix, and other ones.

Cheers,

Gaël
