You can use the patch attached here: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18115 (after modifying it to match the source locations in cb's repo).
But generally you want to have wxdisplay working. It will make you're user experience a lot better.

From wxWidgets configure.in

--- Code: ---AC_MSG_WARN([Xinerama not found; disabling wxDisplay])

--- End code ---

I am guessing this is mostly only true if you have multiple monitors; is this correct?

oBFusCATed:
Nope, it improves experience in single monitor settings.
The the bug from the link happens on a single monitor machine.

Feels like a bug in the wxWidgets 2.8 branch:

I have Xinerama installed, but the default install path for the .so on *Ubuntu is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.

Debugging the configure script showed, that the search paths for libs are:

--- Code: ---/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/X11/lib
/usr/local/lib/X11
/usr/local/X11R6/lib
/usr/local/lib/X11R6
/usr/Motif-2.1/lib
/usr/Motif-1.2/lib
/usr/lib/Motif1.2
/usr/dt/lib
/usr/openwin/lib
/usr/lib/Xm
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11R6.4/lib
/usr/lib/X11R6
/usr/X11/lib
/usr/lib/X11
/usr/XFree86/lib/X11
/usr/pkg/lib
/usr/local/X1R5/lib
/usr/local/lib/X11R5
/usr/X11R5/lib
/usr/lib/X11R5
/usr/local/X11R4/lib
/usr/local/lib/X11R4
/usr/X11R4/lib
/usr/lib/X11R4
/usr/openwin/share/lib
/usr/lib

--- End code ---

Basically everywhere BUT the right location. I don't think my shell-script-fu is strong enough to untangle the mess of $SEARCH_LIB.

Also looking at wx3.0+ configure shows that it no longer checks for Xinerama  :-\
