how to keep top window from shrinking

[Peter Jay Salzman <p dirac org>]

The top level window has a nice default size, EXCEPT when I pack the
MenuBar into the MainVBox.

Once MenuBar goes into MainVBox, the main window shrinks to the size of
the word "File".

Is this standard behavior?  I know I can force the issue, but I'm
curious if this behavior is because I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks!
