Re: set different initial and minimum dimensions for sizer item?

Any initial size you set explicitly will always be taken as the minimal
size too. But nothing prevents you from sizing the top level window
containing the grid to be larger than its minimal size. E.g. you can set up
everything as you do now but at the end do something like this:
SetSizer(sizer);
wxSize minSize = GetMinSize();
SetSizeHints(minSize);
SetSize(minSize*2);
instead of just doing
SetSizerAndFit(sizer);
as usual.
