 High Priority

-- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
-  currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
-
-- Colour setting in widgets (almost done). Should scrollbars take
-  on the background colour? Not right for e.g. wxScrolledWindows,
-  so maybe have wxSystemSettings value for scrollbar colour, and/or
-  ability to set scrollbar colour independently.
-
-- Make wxDialog OnPaint work.
-
-- 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
-
-- Tidy dialogs such as the colour and font selectors.
+- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin
+  app to allow changing settings interactively.
 
-- Use generic wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl: debug and enhance these.
+- 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.
 
-- Find out why modal dialogs give a grab warning.
-
-- wxSystemSettings. Eventually, should have control panel-like utility
-  to change colours/fonts but meanwhile should maybe read them
-  from a file.
-
-- wxThread (hopefully, similar to wxGTK)
-
-- wxAcceleratorTable.
+- wxToolTip
 
 - Miscellaneous events.
 
-- Write makefiles for all samples and utilities.
-
-- Create some samples for testing.
+- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
 
 Low Priority

-- Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs.
-  Use wxGTK config system? It's really complex to debug and
-  doesn't offer a way of compiling apps outside the wxWin
-  hierarchy.
-
-- Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68
-  wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated. However,
-  when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked
-  unless needed.
-
-- 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
