The Mandrake folks seem to simply ignore the fact that newer versions
are also 'unstable'. In Mandrake 10.1 they've included a weekly 
snapshot of ncurses, which simply broken some of my applications 
(billing/accounting applications using postgres and ncurses).

I'll try to study it a little. 
It would be an opportunity to learn more about wxWidgets. But
gnue-designer will have to work with both 2.4 and 2.5 - which 
might be untrivial and must be well tested.
