I forgot to even mention: By default, nothing is resizable. As in, when 
you resize the window, the bottom-most pane inherits all the additional 
space. And there's no way to make the other regions larger.

To fix this, you have to use a "splitter". And the way it works is 
pretty retarded. (In particular, you cannot have, say, a 3-way split. 
You can only have nested 2-way splits. Presumably because that made the 
library author's job easier. :-P ) It took me ages to get it to actually 
work right!

And I still don't know why the text field at the top insists it should 
have space for /4 lines/ of text, even if you haven't typed that much 
text in. It's very irritating...
