Hi Jim:

Thanks for this effort and the later effort you posted for the wingcc
device driver.

@Jim and Phil:

I am in the middle of another PLplot issue at the moment, but I will test
Jim's fix for all of tkwin, qt, and cairo once I am done with that
issue.

I noticed above that Jim have no plans for the wxwidgets driver.  But
I assume we will need that device fixed and also the old wxwidgets
device you get when using -DOLD_WXWIDGETS=ON before we can push these
changes. So I hope if the bug fix is simple for both forms of wxwidgets
that Jim just goes ahead with it, but if it is more complex, I hope
both you guys are collaborating on making the fix.

Anyhow, once I see a patch series for the two forms of wxwidgets from
one or the other of you, I would be happy to test both those forms.
