I was trying to make a simple form with text inputs, a couple of buttons
and a rather large read only box to display results within the main
window. I tried using pack but it looked goofy - the buttons/inputs were
spread way apart - I think its because pack is trying to use a grid and
the grid size is based on the large result box.
