-wxWindows/Gtk is still in development and you can have a look
-at the todo.txt to see what's missing before an official beta

+When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
+follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
+please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
+my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND 
+YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
+DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know 
+this has no effect, but I tried...
+
+This is the beta release which means that we have a feature
+freeze. We'll move up to versin 2.0 rather soon and from then
+on there will be no more binary incompatible changes. We might
+add more classes, but none that would alter the behaviour of
+the existing ones. The library produced by the install process
+of the final version will be called libwx_gtk_1_0.a (static)
+and libwx_gtk_1_0.so.2.0.0 (shared) so that once a version
+of wxWindows/Gtk for GTK 1.2 comes out we'll change the name
+of the library to avoid linking problems.
