Actually, I must say that I was wrong in my conversation with the submitter on 
IRC.  :)  Looking at the functionality in Gorm, it works as follows:

Basically, the user creates a standalone view (such as an NSBox) by 
instantiating it in the classes outline view.  This adds the view to the top 
level objects.  In order to display this view it needs a "temporary window".   
The purpose of this window is to serve as a means to manipulate the size of the 
view and to display it.

So this is not, per se, a bug that you can't resize the standalone view all by 
itself.  It would require the window to shrink since.   BTW, IB on MOSX also 
works this way according to my tests.  

I will reopen this bug if it seems as though people want to be able to resize 
the view itself instead of the containing window.

Summary:  Can not resize instanciate View 

Original Submission:  "<bheron> To resize the view..you need to change the size
of it's containing window.
<bheron> I *should* implement something which says that if 
the view changes size it will update thecontaining window.
<bheron> the window is, of course, not saved in the .gorm.
<bheron> but the view still needs to update it when it's 
modified.
<bheron> Good catch.
<bheron>Could you write this up in a bug on Savannah so I 
can track it?
[msg(bheron)] ok"

Done :)
