[erlang-questions] Background wx_object set_id/2

[Frans Schneider]

I am not really sure I get the full picture yet. So, it is not tinkering 
with the wx_object process itself but just sets an attribute in the data 
structure of the wxWidget object? But why are the wx_object functions 
stop, call and cast using that Pid than?
