Yes, I've read as well, that at certain conditions the std::deque is faster. Especially for our cases it should be the best solution; so I changed anything to the deque.

That's right; it was mainly a stub that Eclipse creates automatically. I've commented it out; if it should be used later, the comment just needs to be removed.

I had to apply some different changes for wxWidgets 2.8; now it should be run there as well. The problem is that I've changed to the image backend of Cairo and the blitting doesn't work like I'd like. So I'm using the code from wxCairo; but it's much slower than a direct access with wxNativePixelData that 2.9 provides. I think it is even there room for impovements.
The rubberbanding demo is still bit stupid; at the moment it displays only a QFN footprint (you can zoom with the mouse wheel and pan with the right mouse button). I'll implement dragging of some objects later and seperate the classes in different files.
There is still much in progress; also I have to add more documentation.

I've changed the branch owner to kicad-testing-committers. You should be able now to commit changes.

Bye ..
Torsten
