A long time ago, one or more of the three platforms did not support  
checkmarks in wx.

If all three do now, we can definitely use them when appropriate.

Some UI design guidelines say to avoid them, though, because it's not  
obvious to a user what has happened.  I think that showing/hiding  
toolbars is okay for checkmarks; let's discuss each use individually.
