Thats a bit of a bummer, I was kind of relying on being able to guarantee
the position of the various controls so I could use layout to make it
less confusing. Personally I think this is essential, but I can see its
not very S, and resizing fanatics won't like it!
I was expecting to have to supply my own pixmaps to do this, will it
not be possible to do hard layout even then?
