You can give a window a fixed size by calling its setFixedSize() method,
but this requires you to decide its exact size in pixels.

A better alternative is to call setSizeConstraint() on the window's
layout with a value of SetFixedSize:

This way, the layout will figure out how much space the window requires and
force it to remain at that size from then on.
