-  up a dialog, e.g. an About box. Widgets are arranged
-  incorrectly. Seems to be OK for non-dialog panels, once the

-  In fact it seems OK for dialogs now!!! Weird.
+- 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.
 
-- ChangeFont should have an extra arg, to allow for not resizing
-  the window back to the original size after setting the font.
-  Also don't call SetFont from constructor, assign the font and
-  call ChangeFont so we can pass FALSE if the size has been passed
-  as the default (which means: wxWin should choose an appropriate
-  size, so Motif should expand/contract the widget as appropriate).

   just before OnPaint? Will duplicate Xlib's own erase of the background.
