Simpler, using StaticText ALIGN styles instead of extra spacers

box = Wx::VBoxSizer.new
st = Wx::StaticText.new(self, :label => 'adsf', :style => Wx::ALIGN_CENTRE)
box.add st, 0, Wx::GROW

This is a good point - use sizers to have children adjust to their 
parent's size. Also, if a window is the only child of a frame parent 
(often the case with Panels inside Frames) then it will automatically 
take up all the avaiable space - no sizer needed.
