Real world test:

Have an NSTabView with 4 tabs and no border or tabs headers visible. Put it
in a Window and cycle through all tabs so each is shown. At this point the
frams of all NSTabViewItem are the same.

Now with tab 0 showing, resize the window.  Only the frame of tab 0 changes.
The frams of the other tabs (and the positioning of all the sub items) will
not change until the tab is shown.

How can I force all the hidden tabs to update the positioning of the sub
items. I need to do this so I can gram a bitmap representation of a hidden
tab in the proper position.

I have invoked setAutoresizesSubviews:YES on all the parts but it doesn't
work... They do resize of course, but only as they are needed to be viewed.
I need to force all hidden items to reposition correctly.

Thanks,
