- 	moving/resizing widgets contained into a fixed shows
	a "gummy" behaviour using mouse. Some widgets do not
	move/resize at all (specially containers), in such case
	is advisable to use keyboard that works near perfectly.

-	For redhat users (and most probably for others)
	If automake/autoconf support fails with:
	"AM_PATH_VDK macro not found on aclocal library" 
	make a symlink into /usr/share/aclocal/
	to /usr/local/share/aclocal/vdk.m4
	Like this:
	$ su
	Password: 
	(have su permission)
	# cd /usr/share/aclocal
	# ln -s /usr/local/share/aclocal/vdk.m4
	# exit
	$

- Automake/Autoconf support needs to be run twice (the first time)
	to assure a correct making of all necessary files.

- A not yet recovered bug in resizing VDKCustomList and 
	VDKCustomTree into a fixed container.
	Here the bug:
	-------------
	Dropping one of the above widgets if it appears with an hor scrollbar
	and user picks on right-bottom corner to enlarge until scrollbar
	disappear happens that widget hangs on a never-ending mouse grabbing 
	without recovering.
	
	Here a rationale:
	----------------
	When the user picks on the right bottom corner the grabbed widget
	becomes the scrollbar itself. It happens that if the user enlarges
	the widget to make the scrollbar disappearing it can't be ungrabbed
	anymore.
	
	How to recover:
	--------------
	User should shrink the widget until scrollbar appears again, clicking
	on scrollbar ungrabs the widget. Then resize using keyboard that is 
	always safer.

	A similar things happens resizing a VDKScrolled into a fixed
	container. In this case it's enough click on scrollbars again 
	to free the widget from grab hang.
