Oh - nice catch. I hadn't considered the dummy nodes!

Couple of thoughts about the patch...

We should use #ifdef __WXGTK__ not __LINUX__ as we also support *BSD
and Solaris, *but*, although the bug only occurs on Linux, should we
just use this search code on all platforms for consistency and future
enhancement?

Don't worry about submitting a new patch - I'll hack up whats there
based on what we decide.
