If a frame has only 1 child widget then it will assume that you want it 
to fill the client area of the frame and will automatically resize and 
position it so that is true.  If you don't want it to fill the frame 
then you either need to use a sizer, or catch the frame's EVT_SIZE event 
and manage the size and position of the child yourself in the handler.
