You could look at using GSHbox and GSVbox (these aren't part of  
OpenStep or Cocoa so they won't work with MacOSX). From here:

look at the GUI AppKit Library for documentation:

gui_3.html#SEC10


I'm not sure if the window size will change though without some  
(programmatic) help, depending on what you want to do. You can also  
look at the Renaissance library, which is an extra library that goes  
with GNUstep and also works on MacOSX. Here's a tutorial:

You can specify the entire interface in a way that's completely  
language independent and portable.
