Try to make it only stretch so that it's roughly the same width as the
widgets below it. Roughly.

Yeah, I figured that'd be too big a change requiring changes to the code.

Understandable. I had difficulty with it even starting from scratch in
my Glade mockup.

That's what I was thinking of doing unfortunately.

This is one of the reasons that I wanted to look at the source of some
HIG compliant program, just to see how they were doing the alignment.
The HIG very clearly specifies that stuff like this needs to line up
properly, but doesn't give any suggestions on how to do it.

Yeah, it looks just like nona but with more options, I saw it.
Anything specific I'm supposed to be looking for?

You did a good job, but you're not quite there yet ;)

Whatever the widget is called, I couldn't see any way of making one
with wxGlade (looking at the buttons for creating widgets, I didn't
see anything that really jumped out at me as saying "hey, this creates
a frame!", especially considering that wxGlade re-uses a bunch of the
Glade icons, and I didn't see Glade's GtkFrame icon anywhere.

I don't think the time zones are _that_ different... I just happened
to be starting work at 6:30 PM ;)
