I fix about five bugs in wxMaxima a week. Reporting a bug to debian
costs at least one week of work and wxMaxima is using enough of
wxWidget's functionality that it has the potential of being a near-ideal
bug detector for wxWidgets  => If I can work around a bug I do that
instead of reporting it. Else we would need a bigger team for supporting
wxMaxima.

As there have been no new bug reports after the wxMaxima version from
July was uploaded I am rather curious if any of the problems I've
encountered are likely to materialize on other computers. Perhaps I have
managed to transform my system into a quite complete test case somehow -
which isn't bad as until now I've been able to reproduce (and in most
cases to resolve) all bug reports I got for wxMaxima.

Kind regards,
