Fabrizio,

We are aware of the issue but it will not be addressed for v5.  Chris'
fix was a stop gap measure until we can implement something better.  As
of right now, wxWidgets doesn't support drawing buttons with SVG so we
will most likely have to provide multiple bitmap sizes for each image.

Cheers,

Wayne
