wx.Window doesn't automatically use it's sizer like other widget types 
such as wx.Panel will.  There are several reasons for this which I won't 
go into now, but you can fix this either by giving your 
wx.Window-derived classes a EVT_SIZE handler that calls self.Layout, or 
just use a wx.Panel instead of wx.Window.
