-- 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.
-  In fact it seems OK for dialogs now!!! Weird.
-
-- 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).
-
-- Colour setting in widgets (almost done).
-
-- Implementation of OnEraseBackground. How? Call OnEraseBackground
-  just before OnPaint? Will duplicate Xlib's own erase of the background.
-  However, this is usually OK, because the default wxWindow::OnEraseBackground
-  can do nothing (SetBackgroundColour will make the background look OK).
-  And if a custom OnEraseBackground uses the same colour as the window
-  background, no flicker will be seen. If it does something else, such as
-  painting a tiled bitmap, then a slight flicker might be seen unless
-  X can be persuaded not to repaint the window background by default.

-- wxSpinButton
+- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin
+  app to allow changing settings interactively.

 
 

-- A generic version of wxNotebook that can be used in wxMotif and
-  other toolkits that don't have a native control. Perhaps use wxTab as a
-  starting point.
+- Implementation of default event processing (i.e. passing on an intercepted
+  event such as OnChar to the system). Currently, such events are processed
+  anyway, so for example intercepting left-click in a widget doesn't disable
+  the default behaviour. See TODOs in window.cpp.

 
 

-- Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors.
-
-- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: debug and enhance these.
-
-- Find out why modal dialogs give a grab warning.
-
-- 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)
+- wxToolTip

-- Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs.
-  Use wxGTK config system? It's really complex to debug and
-  doesn't offer a way of compiling apps outside the wxWin
-  hierarchy.
-
-- Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68
-  wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated. However,
-  when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked
-  unless needed.
-
-- Print/preview framework in print.cpp (see wxGTK).
+- Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see
+  wxWindow::DoPaint).

 
 

-- Enhance event handling such that you override e.g. left-click
-  and unless you call the base OnMouseEvent, the click won't be
-  sent to the button. Required for Dialog Editor.
+- Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's
+  visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0.

 
 

-- Get Dialog Editor working under Motif.
+- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is

-- Copy and paste, drag and drop. Use a standard X drag

+  We need to:
+  - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough
+    to compile the source.
+  - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files
+    listed.
+  - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct
+    flags for zlib/png compilation.
+  - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should
+    probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class.
+  - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar,
+    history list).
