Oh well, that's ok.

I wanted to learn how to do this, so I've updated my GUI notes to include 
examples of containers that extend panel% and cooked up a simple grid-ish 
container called simple-grid-panel%.  It doesn't pay attention to 
alignment, but I'm sure that's something easily fixed.

Just out of curiosity, I did a few more Google searches just to see if 
anyone else had done this, and picked up:

as well as:

so although this is still really specialized, I hope that the code above 
helps someone else out there.  *grin*


Thanks again!
