Now is certainly better than before, but keep in mind that the bug was
triggered because the wxTextCtrl sends a "spurious" event when you set
its value from code. We probably wouldn't have noticed if that was not
the case. Maybe this won't be the case with the sound editor. BTW I
don't really understand the wxTextCtrl behaviour, why does it need to
trigger an event when set by program? It brings more problems than
solutions IMO, and you can't disable it.

Not a bad idea... I'll think about it.

I agree, you select a frame and suddenly your selection jumps away
because thumbnails are rescaled and reflushed. I don't like that. Maybe
we could just keep the space for editors always visible. I did so
because 1024x768 on my iBook is not much for ShapeFusion, and I wanted
to avoid wasting space.

Please do.

Nice. Gregory Smith suggested to look at Wail for a good GUI. I don't
remember Wail but maybe you can see it.

Yep, and I'll fix it.
