The geometry manager isn't related to using GUI designers tools at
all. And each toolkit has it's own way to do the things, wxPython uses
sizers, PyGtk uses containers.

You sure can, but differently.

I'm planning to "solve" this, I'm suggesting inclusion of Ttk into
Tkinter for upcoming GSoC. For now you could try using Tile extension,
and update to Tk 8.5. If you don't want to use extensions, then you
will have to wait or change the toolkit for now.
