Thanks for reminding me about this issue.  I forgot to mark the original 
email so it slipped my mind.

The difference is that in 2.7 wxWindow::Fit calls SetClientSize instead 
of SetSize.  But the sizers take into account the difference between 
size and client size so Fit really should be using SetSize...  I'll see 
what I can do.
