wxNotebook in a wxWindow doesn't stretch

Sizers work nicely for this, but it's doable with constraints too.

Actually, it's recommended to place controls on a wxPanel since that is what
handles the tab-key traversal between controls.

I answered the original posters question in the wxPython-users list.  It was
because he put the items controled by the sizer on a wxWindow, which doesn't
automatically handle the auto-layout flag.  Substituting wxPanel there took
care of the problem.
