There is indeed little point in having a nice auto-sizing GUI if code
is going to fix assumptions about sizes.

In case you/anyone can think of something that might be acceptable, I
want to make the motivation clear: 1) many of the palettes in the
mockups at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Frame seem to have a
fixed size; and 2) on IRC eben mentioned he liked the palettes a bit
wider (IIRC), and I, after trying it out on my XO, found the same.
