the state of my archive, and commit request

Currently the archive at core.ibex.org is useless for widget 
development. My archive at http://darcs.smallmerchant.com/simplex_core 
mirrors core.ibex.org, but contains all of the patches below, some of 
which are essential to widget rendering. Even with these patches, there 
are some layout problems, most notably with tabpanes, but most things 
are usable with these patches applied.

 I believe that all of these patches except for the last one are 
appropriate for approval and committing. Anyone wanting to work with the 
widgets archive and the simplex core will probably want to use all of 
these patches, including the last "crude hack" until a real fix comes 
along.  My simplex jar at 
http://darcs.smallmerchant.com/ibex_builds/JVM/simplex_ibex.jar contains 
all of these patches.

Adam. Could you please review and hopefuly approve committing each of 
these. For your convenience, I've added a quick comment about the need 
for each one.

  * fixes Bug 525 - correct initial frame size
I just added a test case for this. Charlie's fix works, though it does 
make the window take up the entire screen in situations where it shouldn't

  * respun fix for 538 to work with adam's latest patches
Updated fix for 538. Without this, boxes shrink to zero if shrink=true, 
even if they have are filled with an image.
