Re: Excessive GDI objects under WIN32

Yeah,
I'm debating that it needs GDI objects. Everything with a GUI needs a few, but 1029 GDI objects for 4 windows is a lot
morethen it seems nessiary. Visual Studio 2005 with over 30 tabs only requires 820 and it took me 31 IE windows with
nothingbut flash and tons of form objects to get up to barely get to 1000. I can max out the 10,000 max pretty quick
(eventhough you can increase the max in the registry it causes strange things to happen.) I'm not sure if its purely
insidewxWidgets or its something unique to pgAdmin or not though.

pgAdmin needs those. If you're short of GDI objects, you must be running
win98 or so.
