Of course that won't work properly.

Hmmm...this sounds familiar. I came across a similar problem with the 
built-in components on OSX after a particular version of wxPython came 
out, back in 2008, and although it won't be the same issue as you're 
getting it might pinpoint the code you need to modify. Take a look at 
the mailing list archive around October 08.

The code for the layout editor will be making calls to GetBestSize() 
before it writes the resource file, unless you add PDFWindow to the list 
of excluded components. If GetBestSize returns a width and height equal 
to the current dimensions (which it did...and might still do...on OSX), 
it substitutes (-1,-1). Not sure why, and in some of the editors Kevin 
has added a comment querying the need to do this.
