Hi Orson,

i get one of the attached on GAL load (i hit cancel to supress further
dialogs) and one

../src/src/osx/carbon/dcclient.cpp(195): assert
"window->MacGetCGContextRef() != NULL" failed in wxPaintDCImpl():
using wxPaintDC without being in a native paint event

on console on every redraw (even just moving the mouse around)

although these are only visible in debug mode they drive me nuts when
doing a lot of restarts to debug something

thanks

Simon
