Do the gray areas remain after the sizing is done, or are they just 
visible during the sizing?

There are a couple possibilities here:  First, I think that the priority 
of size events is different on wxGTK, especially for top level windows. 
  This is because the window manager is involved in the process, and so 
it is not as integrated in the app or system as it is on MSW.  Second, 
there was a report on wx-dev recently that the size in the event object 
in EVT_SIZE events was different on wxGTK.  On one it was the previous 
size and on the others it was the new size, or something like that....
