A grid is an example of a layout manager. Generic support should be added for layout managers and allow you to add managers such as grid-layouts. Another layout is a flow layout, for example, adding
I would like to take the concept of layout managers a lot further. Basically a layout is nothing but a particular strategy to calculate the size and position of a set of widgets. The grid layout is one of them. Others are docking mechanisms, or autohide/unhide windows as you see them in Visual Studio for example: a window that shows itself when you hover with the mouse pointer over its tab for a while and that hides itself again when a different window gets the focus. These too are size/position handlers. So I'd rather think along positioning strategies rather than have a 'Grid'. A Grid is too low an abstraction.
