in case you do not need the PanedWindow's resize handle, you might
want to have a look at the Grid geometry manager's uniform and weight
options to the grid_columnconfigure() and grid_rowconfigure() commands.

Another option might be to have a look at the Place geometry manager,
especially the relheight and relwidth options. Using for example 
relheight=0.5 will make the widget always occupy 50% of the parent
widget's height.

Best regards
