Hi Wayne,

One more thing I added in that patch that I did not mention in the first email:

(4) Change the initial focus of the pin edit dialog to the pin name
text field instead of the buttons. According to wxWidgets the escape
key will cancel the dialog in GTK so long as any dialog widget has
focus and it seems natural to me to have focus on the pin name rather
than the buttons. I always start typing before I remember to click on
the pin name text field.

Again, this is another one that might be matter of opinion.

Best Regards,

Brian.
