Rich, not sure, what creates you such problems for assigning layouts to 
widgets, but you still have "No parking" signs on some, resulting in the 
effects, you're describing.

All I did is went though your tabs, added a horiz. spacer to the Add/Mod/Del 
buttons, clicked into the tab background, and added a vertical layout.
Then I removed a few silly spacers, and that's it: a fully resizable window.

The intend of the OK/Cancel buttons escapes me at the moment.
