VW gui anomoly ...

Dennis smith-4
OK, I have to admit to swearing at VW last night after about 3 hours
of trying to figure out why my "View Holder" was not being displayed
in some cases, but not in others.

OK, it seems that buried in the builder somewhere it says
    if the name of this widget contains an "_" then treat it as
    an external image -- instead of looking for my aspect!!

This is handled by the method
    looksLikeBookmark, in "CharacterArray".

Now this is REALLY an obvious thing to do eh!!

The sad thing is, now that you bring that up, I vaguely remember that.  I
think it might have been added for VisualWave.

Well -- the code is not all that great either
       '*_*' match: name
a simple "includes: $_" would be a bit faster -- Oh well -- found it
anyway :-)

It wasn't just added for VisualWave, it's part of VisualWave, not of the base image. One of a good many odd changes to the GUI system that VisualWave makes.
