Say you wish to have an extra toolbar at the top of the frame, a project window to the left of
the MDI client window, and an output window above the status bar. You should therefore create
the windows in this order: toolbar, output window, project window. This ensures that the toolbar and
-output window take up space at the top and bottom, then the remaining height in between is used for
+output window take up space at the top and bottom, and then the remaining height in-between is used for
the project window.
