It seems using wxAutoBufferedPaintDC in OnPaint event as a Windows 7 
compositor fix introduces regression on Linux. All gui controls flicker on 
zoom and the performance is much worse with or without compositing. May be 
wx issues. How about ifdefing the fix for Windows only? The grid drawing 
may be fixed by using wxBrush and factoring zoom so that there is even 
number of pixels between the grid rows. Now every dot doesn't need its own 
calculation for coordinates and a draw call. QCad comes to mind as an 
example of this. It is also much nicer to look at without interference 
bands from rounding.

Eeschema has a manual annotation bug. For example if one places four 
resistors on a sheet and uses automatic annotaion, everything works fine. 
Addition of one resistor annotated automatically as R? will work in 
netlister. Manual editing (E) to R5 works too, but the value is only 
updated in the UI, not in the schematic data structure. Adding another 
resistor will break netlister as there are two R?s now. Edit command shows 
R? as a reference in both, but gui shows R5 on the other.
