Summary: wx.StatusBar grip takes up extra space when using controls

Initial Comment:
I'm noticing that the if I have style wx.ST_SIZEGRIP
set on a wx.StatusBar, the grip seems to obscure more
of the last field than normal when the last field has a
control (or other wx.Window) in it rather than text.

As an example, run the StatusBar demo from the wxPython
demos and resize the window until the grip moves over
the rightmost field.

Next, change line 43 from:
self.SetStatusText(st, 2)
to:
self.SetStatusText(st, 1)
and change line 72 from:
rect = self.GetFieldRect(1)
to:
rect = self.GetFieldRect(2)

(basically just making sure that a field with a control
in it is the rightmost field)

Now run the demo and try resizing -- the grip now
covers an extra 17 pixels.

I've attached some partial screenshots that show the
problem.
