What can cause this problem?
The program works perfectly with Linux.
But on Windows, same source code, all the widgets are bunched in the upper left
corner.
I could use set_size() but I prefer the widgets to size themselves.

I haven't run into a situation like this. Could you post a minimal example
that demonstrates this behavior?

Here it is. On Linux the widgets are okay. On Windows the widgets are bunched
in the upper left corner.
global constant PROGRAM_TITLE = "Win vs Lnx"
without warning

That's really strange. It works correctly under windows if you create the
menus before you create the panel. I have no idea why this is. If you
resize the window, it also seems to correct itself. I'll put some info
about this in the docs (probably under the "Known Bugs" section for windows).

Jerry, here's how I get around this:
First, set the window to anything but what you ultimately want:
frameWin = create(wxFrame,{0,1,PROGRAM_TITLE,-1,-1,901,601}), -- off by 1
Then, do this:
set_size( frameWin, 900,600 ) -- set to what you really want
wxMain(frameWin)
