The WXR resource format as well as the Dialog Editor is being deprecated as
it's not up to date with all the control types available, and the Dialog
Editor is fairly limited.

There's a new resource format that is XML based and should be in wxPython
real soon now.  wxDesigner already supports it and can also generate C++,
Python or Perl code.  I imagine that the other IDEs and tools (wxWorkshop,
Boa Constructor, etc.) will be supporing it in time as well.
