   9 -------------
  10
  11 - wxScreenDC
  12
  13 - Extra wxBitmap formats. What about XPMs, can we assume
  14   libxpm exists and use that?
  15
  16 - Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
  17   currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
  18
  19 - Also work out why wxWindow::SetFont causes the widget to be shrunk
  20   to fit its text.
  21
  22 - Bitmap versions of widgets (wxBitmapButton etc.)
  23
  24 - wxRadioBox
  25
  26 - wxRadioButton
  27
  28 - wxComboBox: use combobox.c code as bundled in wxWin 1.68
  29
  30 - wxGauge: use xmgauge as per wxWin 1.68
  31
  32 - wxSpinButton
  33
  34 - wxSlider
  35
  36 - wxTextCtrl text file loading and saving.
  37
  38 - A generic version of wxNotebook that can be used in wxMotif and
  39   other toolkits that don't have a native control. Perhaps use wxTab as a
  40   starting point.
  41
  42 - MDI classes: use existing Motif widgets for this.
  43
  44 - Dialogs e.g. wxFileSelector.
  45   Some others need tidying, such as the colour and font selectors.
  46
  47 - Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: enhance these.
  48
  49 - Write a better generic wxToolBar class than wxToolBarSimple.
  50   Alternatively, write a toolbar using Motif as described here:
  51   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/Kurt_Huhner/jun96.html.
  52   This article also explains how to implement tooltips.
  53
  54 - Colour and font setting in widgets.
  55
  56 - wxSystemSettings
  57
  58 - wxTimer
  59
  60 - wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK)
  61
  62 - Write makefiles for all samples.
  63
  64 - Create some samples for testing.
  65
  66 Low Priority
  67 ------------
  68
  69 - Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK).
  70
  71 - Enhance event handling such that you override e.g. left-click
  72   and unless you call the base OnMouseEvent, the click won't be
  73   sent to the button. Required for Dialog Editor.
  74
  75 - Get Dialog Editor working under Motif.
  76
  77 - New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
  78   http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/
  79
  80 - Optimize screen refresh for non-native widgets, e.g. wxWindow
  81   created with Create(), using technique in flicker patch for 1.68
  82   (see JACS for latest patch).
  83
  84 - Copy and paste, drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
  85   and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
  86   or use Motif drag and drop as described here:
  87   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html
  88
  89 - Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g.
  90   Netscape is running. See:
  91   http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html
  92
  93 - wxCheckBoxList
  94
  95 - Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector).
  96
  97 - Use native Motif dialogs for wxMessageBox.
  98
  99 - Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
 100   Linux)
