OK, I think I have a better idea of what you are doing
now. But I don't think I have much constructive to
offer. Clearly you are dealing here with what we call
the "natural width" of a base widget. Most of the time
when I'm confronted with this problem I add more base
widgets (with XPAD and YPAD set to 0) as organizers.
It is an iterative process, usually. After much to-ing
and fro-ing, I can usually get something that is close
to what I want.

In your case, much as I dislike saying it, you might
have to explicitly size some of your base widgets to
prevent them from jumping around on you.

Without seeing the actual code (which, under no
circumstance, do I want to do!) I can't offer anything
more helpful. Sorry.

Cheers,

David
