Frustrating when things that are supposed to work out of the box, don't. Initial search yields no help.

Sounds like you're on Windows. Unfortunately, Windows support is pretty primitive at this point (reflecting my own priorities - OSX, Unix and mobile support is a more pressing concern). I'll update the homepage and docs to better reflect the current project status.

Longer term, I definitely want to support Windows to the same level as other platforms; any assistance on this front would be gratefully accepted.

What version of toga are you running? I'm on Ubuntu with Python 2.7.6, toga v 0.1.0 and cassowary 0.5 and your oneliner works fine.

Edit: In fact, OptionContainer is just 15 days old, so I think you've got an old version: https://github.com/pybee/toga/commit/262efbfc00fae0a96e09666...

either than or you're on windows, where unfortunately next to nothing is implemented
