Numbers in pane layout specifiers: still broken?

[Timothy Moore]

Yes, it is still broken. I've started to take a look at this. I think 
the basic problem is that we have a default size for scrollbar panes 
(300x300) in an effort to make things look "right", but that breaks the 
"excess space" semantics of the fractional layout specs. I think we 
instead want a default top-level-pane size (perhaps 800x600) and then 
let everything else fall where it may, but doing this exposes some 
other bugs.

If anyone else wants to take a look at this, go ahead; I won't be able 
to revisit it myself until next week.
