    Hi,

    Please don't hardcode GUI too much. Even more: avoid doing that in
    platform code.

    One recent example in class AP_UnixDialog_FormatTable and
    AP_UnixDialog_FormatFrame:
    Thickness strings are hardcoded into the .glade file, and then they
    are repeated in the *platform code*. So if you want to change them,
    you need to change 2 files, and it changes only in one platform.

    This is wrong !!!

    This should be in the XP class, and even more, these values should be
    in the text/ sub-tree....

    I'm might change that soon, at the risk of breaking non UNIX
    platforms. You'll be warned one more time.
