There's been no consensus reached, and even it there was a consensus, it 
would be a major rewrite, enough to justify a completely new repo branch.

I think we need to start by asking this question: "Is this problem 
specific to Kicad or is it general to wxWidgets?"

If Kicad specific, then please tell us where in our code we are doing 
something different than what is intended by the wxWidgets library 
developers. If instead it is general to wxWidgets, then please tell us 
what their roadmap is towards fixing the problem. (Even if that road 
map looks like a dot in the mud.)


Thanks,

Dick
