The big advantage of wxWigdets is, that it provides a native look and
feel on all supported platforms. So yes, as far as possible the
Configurator is purely based on the wxWidgets classes.

Of course we can still overload wxWidget classes or let its maintainers
know how to fix the problem. I got stuck at the point, where I need to
tell GTK+, that we will have a vertically treeview without vertical
scroll bar. I just googled for it and found at

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_text_ctrl.html

that the style wxTE_NO_VSCROLL will no longer work under GTK+.

There had been an older patch
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/8223
and it had been working some time ago.
