Good point. I do vaguely remember this now.

I'm surprised Debian and Ubuntu have diverged here. I'll check what is in
unstable. It may be the change is in the new Debian release too. Anyway, I
agree about the fix. Just flagging it up while testing.
Two other comments for Phil on wxwidgets. Example 17 is a mess (I'm sure
this is already on the list of bugs). Also -np to prevent pausing between
pages doesn't work. This is not a major issue, but is a slight pain when
running the automatic tests.
