 New implementation of idle handlers, which now send an idle
 event only once after the event queue has been emptied (which
 is what happens in the wxMSW port as well), not regularly.
 This no longer forces wxGTK applications to sleep (by having
 to call usleep()) in idle time - giving more CPU slices to
 the application if desired.

 you can compile wxGTK with "configure --with-unicode".

 Drag and Drop works now under GTK 1.2 - at least basically when dragging
 and dropping text. The API is not entirely fixed yet but seems quite
 good now. Support for different actions (copy/move/link/..) still missing.
 I also removed support for GTK 1.0 Drag and Drop - this is just broken
 and unusable in GTK 1.0 and I don't want to fix it.

 There is one field where we haven't been able to fix the API yet, and that
 it Drag'n'Drop. This is mostly due to the fact that DnD in
 GTK 1.0 is hardly usable and much different from GTK 1.2 which means that
 we have to design a common API for Windows, GTK 1.0 and GTK 1.2. Although
 we are trying to prevent that, it is possible that wxWindows 2.0 (being
 based on GTK 1.0) will not have proper DnD support.

 then.
