     This class is MT-safe: its methods may be called concurrently from different
     threads without additional locking.
 
+    Note that you don't allocate an instance of class wxStandardPaths, but retrieve the 
+    global standard paths object using @c wxStandardPaths::Get on which you call the 
+    desired methods.
