I added the log window to show errors from wx as we should probably
investigate any that occur (previously they were just ignored).

I saw what you describe a while ago while I was working on the .svx file
processing, but I'm not seeing it now.  Looking at the wx code, I think
it may depend what fonts are installed.  I've tried changing it to set
the encoding before setting the font which may help.

At worst, it probably just means that accented characters (and the (C)
sign) in the output may not display correctly.

Hmm, img.c doesn't filter LRUD data so aven gets confused by getting a
cross-section which it doesn't have the station for (otherwise -s works
fine).  I'll fix that.

It would appear that wx reports that your tree control has a white
background.  I've tried switching it to ask the the item background
colour instead of the control background colour which may help, but I
don't see this (the default gtk theme on ubuntu gives a white background
for both it seems).
