Here's the problem more specifically.
The user logs in from a dialog box, and is presented a panel that fits
within the main frame.  The user can then choose to logout.  the panel
is then destroyed, and the user is presented with the same dialog box
to login again.  when they login again, the same panel shows up, but
now it's greatly shrunken in size and doesn't fill the frame.  when
the frame is resized by dragging its edges around, the Panel fills the
frame again.  i know all the code is not here, so it makes diagnosing
a bit difficult, but any suggestions?  If anyone would like to have a
look at the code, the project is here:
