Use the !VERSION IDL environment system variable.

If changing versions screws up your widgets considerably, then
you're probably using the xsize and ysize keywords too much.
It's often a better idea to let the "system" arrange things.
Obviously, if you have draw_widgets then you'll want to size
them. If the widgets look terrible in this default fitting,
then perhaps they could be rearranged.

I HATED 4.0's new widget placement scheme, but once you get
used to it it's much more powerful.
