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

 
 

-- Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors.
+- 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.

 
 

-- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: debug and enhance these.

+  OK on other dialogs (e.g. printing sample).

-- wxSystemSettings. Eventually, should have control panel-like utility
