Right Thiago, since the Configurator moved from static to dynamic
scripting, the performance suffered significantly. Though, updates never
took more than a second here.

When I implemented that, I had enough trouble getting it done, so I
accepted the decline in performance. Nevertheless, we should look into it.

Ole, are you running KDE4? There seems to be a problem with this KDE
version and the wxWidget file open dialog. Last time I googled for that,
only very few reports about this issue appeared and no solution...

Thiago added an abstract class, which simplifies the code for scanning
directories. Unfortunately

 g++ (GCC) 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)

doesn't aacept line 723 of nutconfdoc.cpp:

 virtual ~CAbstractDirCopyTraverser() = 0
 {
 }

IMHO it is not allowed to have both, a pure-specifier and the
definition. Although, the MS compiler accepted that statement. Do we
need the  declaration of the destructor at all?

I should add, that my knowledge about C++ is not sufficient to
understand all the details. After removing the destructor, it seems to
work, but I'm not sure whether this may break something else.
