Having to do something like this:

	public override bool Create(Window parent, int id, string label,
Point pos, Size size, long style, Validator validator, string name)
	{
		bool res = base.Create(parent, id, label, pos, size, style,
validator, name);
		... Do custom things ...
		return res;
	}

is pretty cumbersome IMHO when all you might want to do is change a font or
somesuch. I'd prefer a way to be able to make sub-class changes in the
constructor or a separate event ("Created"?) or simple virtual method
("PostCreate"?) with no arguments.

I tried this.Parent.Fit() within my Xbutton but it had no effect. Could you
experiment with http://www.muegel.org/xfer/TestXRCSubclassing.zip when you
have time? 

Good luck on the run.

Thanks,
