[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#759060: [olly at survex.com: Bug#759060: invesalius: Partial patch for wxPython 3.0]

[Thiago Franco Moraes]

Hi Olly,

I tested it here inside a VM. It's working now! Thanks! There are some
problems with the widgets layouts and placements, but everything seems
to work. I'll try to solve these problems.

If you want to test, here [1] you have some dicom files.
