+       -checklist sample: There is no way to check/uncheck since this box is
+        missing
+       -conftest sample: The boxes in the window are too small to display
+        texts with the fonts specified.
+       -controls sample: radiobox does not appear on the screen
+       -Some samples crash due to colour allocation problems

+   wxGTK :
+       -In the calendar sample options can only be switched on and not off
+        again.
+       -image sample: after clicking "about" the colourmap is permanently
