Also there are two two issues I think we need to resolve:

1) reverting the top-level window GetMaxSize code to previous behaviour 
so as to not break
multiple monitor support; I will try to look at this in the next few days.

2) utils/src/helpview and samples/html/helpview are currently broken in 
2.8 because of the help
frame's ShouldPreventAppExit returning false, causing the apps to 
terminate immediately after
opening a file (or any other dialog showing operation where wxWidgets 
checks for ability to
terminate now). I've fixed it in CVS head by checking whether the help 
frame is the top window
and returning false only if not, but I think binary compatibility will 
break if I change

    virtual bool ShouldPreventAppExit() const { return false; }

to

    virtual bool ShouldPreventAppExit() const;

So perhaps we can override the helpview apps' 
wxApp::GetExitOnFrameDelete() to return false to
avoid the behaviour, for 2.8.
