The "normal" trick to use in this situation is to make a base in the
location of the two interchanging widgets that is a "bulletin board"
base (i.e. without ROW, COLUMN, or GRID_LAYOUT). Then add both widgets
as children of this base using MAP to turn them on/off. When you add
widgets to a bulletin board base you can specify a location with
XOFFSET and YOFFSET, but usually you just want the default (0,0)
location.
