absolute sizes

Boa is great, and the new version does fix some things that were
incredibly irritating (like not recognizing # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
).

However my biggest problem is the forced use of fixed sizes for
widgets. I develop for, and in, a multiplatform environment (ubuntu,
2000, XP). This makes wxPython perfect. However, since boa can't
handle wx.Size(-1, -1) or wx.DefaultSize, I'm eternally stuck
designing the app in windows (my primary workstation is ubuntu) and
then editing them with gedit to remove all the size values, but then
of course it won't work with boa anymore. BTW, I remove them because
if I use (-1,-1) and I open it up in boa, it gets set to whatever size
it likes for that platform.

Looking through the boa sources (0.5.2), all I see are absolute sizes.
In my view, this is a fundamental design flaw for an application that
is (supposedly) cross platform. I say "supposedly" because if you use
boa under GTK you have to agree the experience is far below the level
of usability of the windows version.

Are you planning on addressing this in the next release? Would you
accept patches regarding this issue?
