So essentially what we're saying is that we either cannot save the
layout, or we have to disable the only feature that makes it
worthwhile using wxAuiNotebook instead of wxNotebook? Bummer.

What about not using a notebook at all and just using 4 panels, like
we do on other forms? We can have toggle button on a button bar as
well as menu options to turn each pane on and off. that will allow
flexible layout within the form, or for sections to be un-docked into
their own Windows.

What about replacing the slider and text control with a combo box that
offers Don't refresh, ! second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1
minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour. That will be a
fixed size (and much smaller than the slider), and should be small
enough to fit a decent four-pane layout on an 800x600 window.

Thoughts?
