 This can't be a wxFrame or I'm completely missing something here.

 FWIW the usual way of restoring AUI layout was to save and then reload a
"perspective", which is just a simple string. In 3.3 there is a new and
much more flexible mechanism using wxAuiSerializer and wxAuiDeserializer.
Nevertheless calling SetSize() should still work. I still don't understand
what do you call it on, however.
