13High Priority
14-------------
15
16- Have a central/per app file for colour settings, with a wxWin
17  app to allow changing settings interactively.
18
19- Implementation of default event processing (i.e. passing on an intercepted
20  event such as OnChar to the system). Currently, such events are processed
21  anyway, so for example intercepting left-click in a widget doesn't disable
22  the default behaviour. See TODOs in window.cpp.
23
24- wxToolTip
25
26- Miscellaneous events.
27
28- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
29
30Low Priority
31------------
32
33- Painting a retained window could be optimized further (see
34  wxWindow::DoPaint).
35
36- Visuals: how to select an appropriate one? See Thomas Runge's
37  visual patch for 1.68 -- should be straightforward to port to 2.0.
38
39- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
40  currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
41
42- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
43  http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/.
44
45  We need to:
46  - make a minimal distribution under wx/src/xmhtml, just enough
47    to compile the source.
48  - add XMHTML_C_SRC to src/motif/makefile.unx with the source files
49    listed.
50  - make sure we can compile the sources, passing the correct
51    flags for zlib/png compilation.
52  - make a wxHTMLWindow class from e.g. examples/example_2.c. Should
53    probably make the cache and history facilities part of the class.
54  - add the driver code to src/motif/helphtml.cpp (a frame, toolbar,
55    history list).
56
57- Drag and drop. Use a standard X drag
58  and drop standard - see http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~jafl/xdnd/
59  or use Motif drag and drop as described here:
60  http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/DnD/dnd.html
61
62- Optimize colour management so we don't get clashes when e.g.
63  Netscape is running. See:
64  http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/John_Cwikla/index.html
65
66- wxRCConfig (a config class using X .rc files). Could simply
67  implement it in terms of current wxGet/WriteResource functions.
68
69- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
70  Linux)
71
72- Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under
73  gcc
