(moved here from osgeo4w bug # 37 http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/37
because it is seen both in the OSGeo4W and stand-alone installers)
* wx-nviz (no error message, when you switch the monitor to 3D view,
nothing happens). Cog and O/I icons come up and overlap the eyeball and
full-rerender icons in top left of the view window toolbar. starting with
a blank map display a "Please wait, loading data..." grey box comes up in
the map display. but nothing.

Comment (by hamish):
is it possible to grey them (vdigit & wxnivz) out in the list instead of
removing them? if not, having them pop up an explaination box? that way
people don't pull their hair out trying to find them somewhere else
because they remember they had seem them somewhere before..

yes, it would be better, anyway wxPython doesn't allow disabling items in
wx.Combobox (toolbar). It would be possible via customized widgets - extra
work...

Another approach:
* don't remove items from toolbar's combobox
* after choosing e.g. 'vdigit', show dialog which explains to the user
that the extension is not available.
* switch back to '2D view'

Yes; they learn where to find it in future, and can immediately stop
hunting for it in the menus.
