Looks good on Windows :) I see the buttons on each tab, but the slider
just on one which is what I guess you mean be 'add them on the three
remaining ones'.

Well, if it's rejected it'll be by mutual agreement. I like the
feature enough that I think it probably should be enabled on Windows
and Mac, and disabled on GTK until the wx folks can fix things. It
would be worth logging/updating the bug with them.

What is your timetable for this lot? I'm expecting us to freeze within
a few weeks. Tom wants us to get PG more or less ready for beta in two
(I think it'll take a little longer but...). We need to concentrate on
getting the changes in and complete one or two at a time until we run
out of time I guess.
