Yeah, it would be nice to use something like wxDesigner eventually, but 
right now I'd like to learn how to write it all by hand, so I can know 
what's going on.

There are a couple of screencasts about using sizers with Dabo that are 
helpful, even though it's specific to that designer. It still shows how 
to layout nested sizers, for example.
