[Cuis-dev] initial size of SystemWindow subclass

[Mark Volkmann]

Thanks for that tip Jon! I made that change, but the issue with sizing the
window to hold its contents still remains. Clicking an edge of the window
fixes it. I'm thinking there must be a method I need to call on the
SystemWindow after adding content to it so it will recalculate its size.
