 I'm awfully sorry, I didn't retest with 2.8 sources after fixing the
problem in the trunk and I forgot that there was more to this change than
passing the correct position to ShowHelpAtPoint() -- I also fixed the bug
with the help provider not using the position passed to ShowHelpAtPoint()
at all with the patch here:

http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH/src/common/cshelp.cpp?r1=52329&r2=52328&pathrev=52329

 Sorry once again for failing to test it with 2.8 -- and it should really
work (in the "minimal" sense described above) this time.
