DESCRIPTION
A SplitFrame is a geometry manager for the two subwidgets
instantiated against it. It has a sliding divider between
them which, when moved, resizes them so that they each
remain in contact with it.
The divider can be arranged vertically or horizontally at
create time. The children our arranged in the order that
they are instantiated, from left to right or from top to
bottom. After instantiation, the order is fixed. The chil
dren should NOT be packed or placed, the split frame is
responsible for this.
The split frame will adjust itself initially to the pre
ferred size of the children.
It is a basic frame itself and can be packed or placed
wherever needed in other frames or toplevel windows.
