For this kind of stuff, don't use pack; use grid. It will be far easier to  
get it working, to read afterwards and to maintain, even if it's slightly  
more verbose. IMHO, pack should only be used to create rows or columns of  
widgets, without any resizing policy, or to put an entire widget into a  
container. If you do anything more complicated than that, you'll find grid  
much easier to handle.
