=> listbox.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)

BTW, even for something that simple, using the grid geometry manager may  
be easier... It is at least easier to explain: don't ask me what the  
expand=1 option means, I never understood it... I just add or remove it  
when the pack doesn't do what I want. The sticky option with grid is  
easier to handle.
