I saw what you did, and felt we should not create the wxBitmap()s unless we have
to.  Normally they are never needed, only windows and only if menu icons.

So why create them.

I had a free 1/2 hour, tested compiling with FUTURE_PNG_BITMAPS temporarily,
this flushed out some more missing KiBitmap() calls.  Added them.  With those,
checked in my patch.

If you can try the language menu patch on Windows I'd be grateful.

Thanks,

Dick
