It is probably one of those delightful cross-platform quirks
(see recent articles about sizing widgets just in the past
couple of weeks).
But it is a rare application, indeed, when I've needed to size
the top-level base. Normally that base just fits itself around
whatever is inside of it. (Another way of saying this, is that
the top-level base is a row or column base.) It could be that you
are writing inherently non-cross-platform compatible code. :-(
Cheers,
David
