Nice to hear good news from you Bob,
no other problem than electrical loss with Isabel ?

I lost many mails due to a virus mail-bombing, so forget this mail if Andreas answered to you.

I just wanted to be sure that you also provided gtk2 parameters when you built this wxwin version ?
The complete line for building wxWindows for pgAdmin3 is this one:
./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode --disable-shared --enable-debug

If it is needed I can produce a source debian package of this wxWindows snapshot. This would simplify your work with
thisbuild. Just tell me and I'll do it so that you can try to build pgAdmin3 with it. If it corrects the problem with
pgAdmin3,then may be Andreas and the rest of the team could have a look on how hard it would be to get this version as
theofficial one for pgA3 (patches, bugs and so on). 

Regards,
Raphaël

We were fortunate. We just lost electrical power for a little more than half a
day. No big deal for us.

I overlooked the --enable-gtk2 flag. When I rebuilt with that flag, the
program crashes. So it appears to be a wxWindows or gtk2 issue. I just
submitted a bug report to the wxWindows project. It's item 809913 -- my user
ID is rjkimble.

Thanks -- once I read the readme file correctly and noticed the build
instructions, I had no problem building wxWindows correctly. This has been an
interesting learning experience for me.
