Here are the bugs we are currently aware of, in approximate
degree of importance (most important first), tested
against r1514:
* Needs a border round the control so it doesn't get lost
  against the background
* Fix wxGTK bug so that SetLineSize works. This will make
  the mouse wheel and keyboard handling work.
* Needs to support the Mac way (i.e. current Xtreme way) of
  setting values (click and drag) as well as the windows
  way (click and release, then click/drag and release).
* Current technical problem with styles in XRC. Clash needs
  to be sorted by implementing <sliderstyle>
  Add wxSL_AUTOTICKS while at it.
* Should support vertical sliders as well as horizontal
* Should be able to control the length of slider in XRC
* Make "auto update" stuff work - & xrc flag for automatic updates

My own view is that only the first needs fixing for 0.7.
The second is a wxWidgets issue. The remainder are
issues in the pop-up slider code, but in my view can
wait for after 0.7.
