Hmm, that was wierd - I think it must have been caused by a change in
the new wxWidgets version. That control was loaded in code as a custom
control, which appears to stop the sizer working properly. I've changed
it to load in the same way we normally load those controls and all is
well again :-)

BTW, to clear up any confusion about the XRC files, in a debug build on
any platform, the dialogues are loaded from their respective XRC file on
the fly. The files can be editted whilst pgAdmin is running, and the
next time the dialogue is loaded, the new version will be displayed.

The embed-xrc scripts in pgadmin/ui are used to compile the XRC files
into xrcDialogs.cpp. This is used in all release builds, where the XRc
files are no longer required (one of the last remaining roadmap items is
to stop them getting installed on *nix in fact).
