OK.

Yes, unfortunately that probably means rewriting virtually all of it.
Just looking on Windows and it seems one of us has broken it there again
(though it should be easy to roll that back). If I remember correctly,
the bug is in frmQuerybuilder.cpp in


void frmQueryBuilder::OnSize(wxSizeEvent& event)
{
    if (this->GetClientWindow() != NULL) {
    wxLayoutAlgorithm layout;
    layout.LayoutMDIFrame(this);
    }
}

which is perfectly fine in itself, the problem being somewhere in
LayoutMDIFrame iirc. Anyway, if you get bored... :-)

OK. My time is still limited until December (when I hand in my
dissertation and breath a big sigh of relief), but let me know if
there's anything you want me to look at.
