Development: wxGTK

[edit] wxGTK

wxFontMapper and co are quite non-functional with wxGTK2 - there is no notion of font encodings in pango. Could do some surgery at font-config level.

Various tasks that could be undertaken:

Fix wxStaticText wrapping
- Mostly fixed by Robert, but I can provide an example where it fails. - MR
Implement missing drawing functions in GNOME's wxPrinterDC.
Implement wxDC in terms of cairo
- wxPrinterDC is similar - libgnomeprint maps quite well to cairo with mostly prefix changes.
Test RPM building and write instructions to distribution makers.
Implement run-time checks for gstreamer. Finalize the control.
Write new backends for wxMediaCtrl (mplayer, libxine)
Post-2.6: Cooperate with other ports for a new wxList/TreeCtrl API and implement it.
Post-2.6: Cooperate with other ports for a wxRichTextCtrl API and implement it.

Make SDL support for sound be used when available, instead of --enable-sdl making it a hard dependency
- Investigate if SDL is the best choice for this these days. Does it use the best sound system available (esound/gstreamer on GNOME, proper ALSA dmixer usage of its own if it doesn't use another system when one isn't available, etc). Maybe use something else than SDL
Native wxGrid control done as a gtk+ class, and then that gtk+ class wrapped by wxGrid?
