-------------------------------+----------------------
 Several universities have contacted me that their mac-using students have
 a hard time using the 2-year-old wxMaxima macports installed, namely on
 MacOs Ventura (for a minor case see https://github.com/wxMaxima-
 developers/wxmaxima/issues/1749) => requesting wxMaxima to be updated.

 If there is a problem that hinders wxMaxima from being updated please tell
 me so I can fix it.

 What I already tried to prepare is
  * Better locale handling
  * if the problem is that cmake doesn't find wxWidgets that might be an
 indication that wxWidgets didn't come with a module we request. In case
 that is `wxWebView` (found a bug report about it missing from macports)
 the git master of wxMaxima offers the following configure-time switch:
 `-WDXM_DISABLE_WEBVIEW=OFF`.

 In order to prevent bit rot from accumulating I would like to enable
 automatic gui tests on the mac on every commit to the wxMaxima repo on the
 Github Actions ci. Currently if after building I run `ctest` the test
 stops when wxMaxima is opened for the first time. My guess is that it
 opens a warning window the user has to close manually. If that indeed is
 the problem please tell me which dialogue to get rid of so I can add the
 tests.

 Thanks in advance,

    Gunter.
