I have just tried Form Widgets, and I don't think they work.
Here is what I want to do:
	a) create a form widget.
	b) add 3 labels, positioned as I want.
	c) make the labels un-resizable.
	
Here is what happens:
	a) the labels get created.
	b) they are the wrong size (I ask for 25x30, the estimated
		actual size is 100x100)
	c) they resize when the window is resized.

Is this a bug?  You tell me, please.  I would love to know what
I am doing wrong.  

The sample code follows.

			Thanks,
			   Dave
