/**
Base class for persistent windows.
Compared to wxPersistentObject this class does three things:
- Most importantly, wxPersistentWindow catches wxWindowDestroyEvent
generated when the window is destroyed and saves its properties
automatically when it happens.
- It implements GetName() using wxWindow::GetName() so that the derived
classes don't need to do it.
- It adds a convenient wxPersistentWindow::Get() accessor returning the
window object of the correct type.

Constructor for a persistent window object.
The constructor uses wxEvtHandler::Connect() to catch
wxWindowDestroyEvent generated when the window is destroyed and call
wxPersistenceManager::SaveAndUnregister() when this happens. This
ensures that the window properties are saved and that this object
itself is deleted when the window is.

Implements the base class pure virtual method using wxWindow::GetName().
Notice that window names are usually not unique while this function
must return a unique (at least among the objects of this type) string.
Because of this you need to specify a non-default window name in its
constructor when creating it or explicitly call wxWindow::SetName()
before saving or restoring persistent properties.
