Doesn't size correctly inside Gxt Layouts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.add editor to Gxt LayoutContainer with FitLayout
2.run!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected editor to take up full size of layout container
instead, it only takes up about 40% of the height

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Linux Ubuntu 10.10
Firefox 3.6
gwt-ckeditor 0.5

Please provide any additional information below.

tried adding setHeight("100%") and setHeight("2000px") before calling layout() 
on the gxt layout container.  doesn't change the height at all.

I think this is an 
[http://ckeditor.com/forums/CKEditor-3.x/Setting-editor-area-height-100?page=1 
issue] with CKEditor not accepting percentage values for 
[http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.config height]. A workaround is to 
resize the Editor through JSNI once your Layout is loaded and you know the 
actual height in pixels.
{{{
private native void resizeEditor(CKEditor editor, String width,
            String height) /*-{
                var e = editor.@com.axeiya.gwtckeditor.client.CKEditor::editor;
                if(typeof(e) != 'undefined' && e != null){
                    e.resize(width, height);
                }
            }-*/;
}}}

and call it like this
{{{
String calculatedHeight = getClientHeightAsString(); // '500', '25em' or '300px'
resizeEditor(myCKEditor, "100%", calculatedHeight);
}}}

I've blogged about this
