SystemPreferences windows is set up in the Gorm file as follows:
Minimum size: 1x1
Maximum size: 10000x10000
Resize bar: yes

However, inside the code a new window is allocated, which has not the 
resize window set, is just inited with the contentRect and then the 
contents view are swapped.

This is a curious method of proceeding and I wonder why it was done this 
way? WHy not just use the Gorm window?

I will try to use the standard window and see what happens, but if 
somebody has an idea of the reson of this hybrid way of making a window...
