Thanks, fix looks good so I've committed it. In future please supply a
patch against latest svn level, and for ones of that size just include
the text in your email.

Tip:
- install linux (e.g. http://www.debian.org/)
- install dependencies (e.g. (for debian) libx11-dev,
libglu1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev, mesa-common-dev, libwxbase2.6-dev,
libwxgtk2.6-dev)
- checkout svn trunk
- make -f makefile.gtk

You'll need to catch the attention of a project admin to get write
access to the svn repo.
