A non-rectangular form. In the samples/shaped example that comes with
wxGTK source, Robin Dunn shows how to modify a frame form to a
non-rectangular shape, based on a bitmap.

I've tried to add a text editor (wxTextCtrl in the case) to this frame.
But the text is not restricted to the, now, visible part of the frame.
For example, if I make my frame a circle and add a text control to it,
the text continues to be written as if the frame is still a rectangle.

I've read wxTextCtrl and wxScintilla  APIs and have not found a way to
restrict rendering the text to, only, within the frame's shaped area.

Is that possible with wxScintilla, Otto ?
