First, accelerators send EVT_MENU events, so you need to
bind EVT_MENU 
to the frame, using the id you use in the accelerator table.
 Second, on 
Linux you only get events from accelerators if a control in
the frame 
has the focus, and when a frame is opened it doesn't
automatically find 
a focusable control within the frame like the other
platforms do.  Once 
the button gets the focus then the accelerator will work
there. 
Finally, the ESC keypress not resulting in an accelerator
event on 
Windows does look like a bug, please enter a bug report
about it using a 
category of "wxMSW Specific".
