After I watched the screencasts for how Dabo uses sizers, I really 
understood them a lot better. I've never used Dabo itself for GUI 
design, but the screencast, though it shows them in terms of that 
program, still gives a great visual presentation of how sizers work in 
general and I suggest you take a look at that:

P.S. I suggest you post the full code to the wxPython mailing list. I'll 
take a look at it to see if anything strikes me, but also you will have 
a ton of other (more experienced) people looking at it too, and I 
guarantee they will spot your problem.
