Oh, rats. I hate getting my hands dirty on wxGTK :-(

Yes.

It's pretty simple really - you've got most of it, just the toggle
functions to add to switch things on or off via the menu. We also used
to add event handlers for OnSize and OnEraseBackground to fix some
display issues, but I'm not sure if thats still a problem with moden
versions of wxWidgets.

Some comments on the patch:

- The form setup code is a pretty large hunk of code. Can we get some
more comments and blank lines in there to break things up a little?
- The form underneath the AUI controls seems to have some drawing
issues on XP. The refresh bar is just about unusable for example.

Thats about it for the moment - nothing too serious.

BTW, any idea why we use a listctrl to display the log? Any thoughts
on changing it to a text area?
