One warning: there is a very special place reserved in hell for
people who design GUI dialogs with hard-wired widget locations
so that the dialogs can't be resized.  One of the reasons I
really hate working with MS-Windows because of all the dialog
boxes that use 80% of the space in a dialog for useless crap,
and then show only four lines in a list-box containing 100+
elements.  A decent GUI would let you resize the dialog so you
could see more of the stuff in the list-box.  But not
MS-Windows....
