well, wxwindows cross platform differences... should be fixed now.

Hmm I have to play with wxwindows a little bit.

well, without that it would be a bit useless I guess. now one can edit
points or add images and optimize by just pressing the optimize button in
the toolbar, without switching to the optimizer tab.

I'll disable the checkmarks when one of the automatic modes is selected.
the sideeffect of switching to custom when changing a checkbox could be
confusing for new users. also it is nice to see that they do not have to
change any checkmark if they choose a predefined mode.
