 wxMotif TODO
 ------------
 
-Updated: 16/10/98
+Updated: 11/02/99
 
          -------------------------------o-------------------------
 
-High Priority
--------------
-
-- wxScreenDC
-
-- Extra wxBitmap formats. What about XPMs, can we assume
-  libxpm exists and use that?
-
-- 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.
-
-- Bitmap versions of widgets (wxBitmapButton etc.)
-
-- wxRadioBox
-
-- wxRadioButton
-
-- wxComboBox: use combobox.c code as bundled in wxWin 1.68
-
-- wxGauge: use xmgauge as per wxWin 1.68
-
-- wxSpinButton
-
-- wxSlider
+General comment: see the following site for useful Motif widgets.
+ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/motif
 
-- wxTextCtrl text file loading and saving.
+Also, grep for TODO comments in source.
 
-- 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.
-
-- MDI classes: use existing Motif widgets for this.
-
-- Dialogs e.g. wxFileSelector.
-  Some others need tidying, such as the colour and font selectors.
-
-- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: enhance these.
-
-- Write a better generic wxToolBar class than wxToolBarSimple.
-  Alternatively, write a toolbar using Motif as described here:
-  http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/Kurt_Huhner/jun96.html.
-  This article also explains how to implement tooltips.
-
-- Colour and font setting in widgets.
+High Priority
+-------------
 
-- wxSystemSettings
+- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin
+  app to allow changing settings interactively.
 
-- wxTimer
+- 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.
 
-- wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK)
+- wxToolTip
 
-- Write makefiles for all samples.
+- Miscellaneous events.
 
-- Create some samples for testing.
+- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
 
 Low Priority
 ------------
 
-- 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
+  currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
 
 - New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
-  http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/
-
-- Optimize screen refresh for non-native widgets, e.g. wxWindow
-  created with Create(), using technique in flicker patch for 1.68
-  (see JACS for latest patch).
-
-- Copy and paste, drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
+  http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/.
+
+  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).
+
+- Drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
   and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
   or use Motif drag and drop as described here:

-- wxCheckBoxList
-
-- Write generic wxDirDialog (directory selector).
-
-- Use native Motif dialogs for wxMessageBox.
+- wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply
