I remember a while ago Kevin writing about Mac-HIG advanced features,
so I am bit lost right now... I thought that these guidelines could
have been integrated in wx* by some clever programmer (maybe Kevin
himself) because they were so advanced and well-suited to build an
harmonious and neat GUI, while right now it seems to me that some
(most?) of the Mac apps just apply absolute positioning... I am surely
missing something here...
