Re: Exmh 2.7 Flist much slower?

Whoops - I suppose I should fully test things before claiming
victory.  I changed the packing parameters dynamically without
actually restarting.  I'll test the toplevel ftoc and msg, next.

It turns out there is other extra code that isn't necessary.
This block of code also adds in the "-expand" for both
frames, which isn't what we want.

if {0} {
    # Re-pack the two frames if necessary.  If one or both of them are
    # Toplevel windows, there's no need to repack.
    if {([winfo toplevel .ftocframe] == ".") &&
        ([winfo toplevel .msgframe] == ".")} {
        pack forget .ftocframe .msgframe
        pack .ftocframe .msgframe -fill both -anchor center -expand 1
    }
}
