[Usbpicprog-technical] [wxGTK] tooltips for the new package-view buttons

[Francesco M. <f18...@ya...>]

Hi,
    I've just added in SVN repo some buttons to allow the user to zoom 
in/out/fit the package drawing.

Unfortunately because of this wxWidgets bug:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/9859
(which I recently fixed in wx SVN trunk), no tooltips are available on these 
buttons even when explicitely set.

I'm using the attached patch to make the tooltip appear... I don't know however 
if it's ok to commit it, given that the changes I made to wx to fix bug #9859 
linked above won't be present in wx2.9.0 (which is to be released very soon).

Another nice thing of the patch is that it makes the wxStatusBar show tips for 
those panes whose contents were ellipsized/truncated. This is a new feature 
which won't be available in wx2.9.0, too...

Francesco
