 - Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
   currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
 
-- Also work out why wxWindow::SetFont causes the widget to be shrunk
-  to fit its text, in dialogs. Uncomment the SetFont implementation and pop
-  up a dialog, e.g. an About box. Widgets are arranged
-  incorrectly. Seems to be OK for non-dialog panels, once the
-  size has been restored after the font setting.
+- Colour setting in widgets (almost done). Should scrollbars take
+  on the background colour? Not right for e.g. wxScrolledWindows,
+  so maybe have wxSystemSettings value for scrollbar colour, and/or
+  ability to set scrollbar colour independently.
 
-- Colour setting in widgets.
+- Optimize wxWindow OnPaint to avoid flicker, collapsing Expose events
+  as per flicker fix in 1.68. It will be tricky to avoid
+  interfering with non-wxScrolledWindow widgets except by
+  explicitly testing for wxScrolledWindow.
 
 - Implementation of OnEraseBackground. How? Call OnEraseBackground
   just before OnPaint? Will duplicate Xlib's own erase of the background.

+- wxSystemSettings. Eventually, should have control panel-like utility
+  to change colours/fonts but meanwhile should maybe read them
+  from a file.
 
 - wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK)
 
+- wxGrid: scrollbars don't hide; problem with cell selection.
+
+- MDI: seems to be broken for a more complex application I'm testing.
+  Frame decorations don't draw properly, and a child window doesn't
+  process events properly. So probably we should have an alternative
+  implementation that uses tabs, a la wxGTK. The system menu could
+  be implemented using a pop-up menu that applies to the currently
+  active window.
+
+- Controls in a wxToolBar don't work. Probably due to form layout
+  problems; the workaround is to use a separate panel for controls.
