It is extremely simple.  Here is how you do it (feel free to ignore the
rest of this message if you'd rather figure it out yourself :-).

In PrefsPanel.h, change the private class variable *topSizer from a
wxStaticBoxSizer to a wxBoxSizer.  The two are identical, except that the
staticBoxSizer has a static box.

Then, in each panel's .cpp file, change the line that initializes
topSizer, calling wxBoxSizer's constructor instead of wxStaticBoxSizer's.

That's it!  Except that the result will not have as much space around the
remaining controls as Tony's mock screenshot does, they will fill out
almost to the edges of the dialog.

Joshua (who hates writing UI's with a text editor, and cannot WAIT until
the day you can load wxWindows dialogs from an XML file, like GLADE).
