I had a similar problem with a rather large program that I've been
working off and on for the past several months. My solution was to
condense a set of buttons into a combobox. Not only is it easier to
expand the functionality of this particular set of buttons (an entry in
the combobox list and corresponding code inside the case statement in
the event handler for the combobox), but saved a surprising amount of
screen real-estate. The draw widget in the program was already set up
to size itself according to the screen resolution (some problems when
using multiple monitors pop up that I haven't been able to solve yet,
but hardcoding for the particular machine is a stop-gap).

Another option is multiple TLBs that have the same unmapped group
leader, but I don't find this particularly attractive for some cases.
