[wxPython] BOA issues (Please ignore if you don't use BOA)

The BOA list doesn't seem very active, so I thought
I'd ask here, especially with respect to issue (2).

thanks for any help,
mike

(1) The default font for the editor and shell (boa0.0.13) was giant (seemed
about 18 pt.)
I couldn't find a font size option in Boa itself (is there one?), so I
found:
  common.defs.msw={'size': 8,...
Changing the font to 6 gave me a normal-looking (about 8pt) font, but size:8
was giant. Any reason the font sizes are off? (I don't really mind - just in
case it's a bug.)

(2) I'm looking for examples on using some of the containers - not in code,
but using the Boa designer. I figured out how to create a notebook, add
pages, and put controls on the pages, but I can't figure out how to do it
with the splitter, sashes, etc - I can't seem to get the designer to show
the actual split-areas for child containment (at design or run-time) from
editing properties alone. Does the designer support dropping children on
these container types? Also, the code in examples/layout is fine, but again,
it doesn't really tell how this was accomplished in the designer, and what
the drawbacks of each method are - this is more of a wx than Boa issue, but
the designer could work better w/one method over the others. The only
tutorials I found were for trival apps where examples weren't really needed.

(3) BOA seems really great in many ways - probably the best python solution
around, espically for wx. The biggest drawback for me is the "multiple
top-level windows on the desktop" design - seems kind of icky - hard to
manage/control with other apps and to get the layout you want w/o messing
with multiple top-level (& possibly hidden & overlayed in z-order) windows.
Is there an option or plan for having a top-level cotainer window that would
allow simpler app (de)activation and mangement of Boa sub-windows? (E.g.,
either a "multiple pane style" or "MDI style" top-level app window.)

   There was a bug in wxSTC taking the device resolution into account twice.
This has been fixed and the fix will eventually turn up in Boa.
