Will those changes be in wx-2.9.0? I ask because we plan to start
testing wx snapshots very soon, starting with this file:

ftp://ftp.wxwidgets.org/pub/Daily_HEAD/files/wxWidgets-2009-02-22.tar.bz2

I think it would be best for us to use that for our initial testing,
and then update to a later version after you've added this new stuff.
Our main purpose is to look for regression anomalies and to test the
many enhancements you've made over the last few months, and I see no
need to delay that.

Yes, let's make that decision now, and integrate it into lmi.

I'd rather ask you to do it, and send me a patch as usual. As for
how and where, let's promote the "premature idea" here:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lmi/2009-02/msg00026.html

to "mature". All that's missing there is to surround the call with
an appropriate conditional, and wire that into the GUI somehow;
but I'll take care of that myself.
