more good news, I was able to fix the first problem also.
I was wondering why it worked when you were already in CB, well in that path of control it was done just a little bit different, doing it at startup also like that --> success.
The original way should have also worked, I think, but it is a wx problem.
Anyhow, CB can overcome it. ;-)
@Yiannis, patch is coming your way, this time at least 6 lines of code changed, 2 gone, 4 new. ;-)
[edit] : only thing left to do, is keep the start page more in sync with the recent history as shown in the menu
