-See also \helpref{window styles overview}{windowstyles}. Currently the GTK port of wxWindows
-ignores all the window styles listed above as there is no standard way (yet) to inform the
-window manager about such options. Therefore, the only relevant window style flag which
-the GTK port recognizes is \windowstyle{wxSIMPLE\_BORDER} which brings up a frame without
-any window decorations. This can be used for a splash screen or specialized tooltip etc.
+The default frame style is for normal, resizeable frames. To create a frame
+which can not be resized by user, you may use the following combination of
+styles: {\tt wxDEFAULT\_FRAME\_STYLE \& \~ (wxRESIZE\_BORDER \pipe wxRESIZE\_BOX \pipe wxMAXIMIZE\_BOX)}.
+% Note: the space after the tilde is necessary or Tex2RTF complains.
