My orginial intent in using the XSIZE and/or YSIZE keywords in WIDGET_LABEL
was to create a fixed size label where I could write various things while
the widget was running. The key word idea here is fixed size. I did not
want my widget geometry shifting around after every WIDGET_CONTROL call.
As it turns out it may have been unneccessary. As it is now I'd have to
agree with you.
