How to find a bug and how to report it
--------------------------------------

wxWindows is a nice library to cover GUI- and platform-dependent data
structures and functions. It provides an easy-to-use API and makes the
programmer platform independent.

BUT!

wxWindows only covers the underlying API. This means to the wxWindows Xt port:

	+----------------+
	| wxWindows      |
	|    + ----------+
	|    +  XToolkit |
	|    + ----------+
	|    +  Xlib     |
	+----+-----------+

If everything is allright, you never have to care about it, but if an error
occurs it may be important to know, what has happened to XToolkit and Xlib. You
need to know, which event has caused the error to know where the it started.

I've added a command line option to the wxWindows library, to trace the
incoming events with the widgets they are delivered to (name and id). This
helps to track which widget (= wxWindow) caused the problem.

Look for the README for the commandline options that help for the debugging.

If you send me bug report I need at least to know:

 - the wxWindow / Widget
 - the X event
 - a peace of code if possible.
