It is certainly not impossible, as long as you do not mind creating
a bunch of extra Frames, however to me this really sound like a
job for grid() .
You could simply use grid(row=<xx>  , column=0, columnspan=2)
for the widgets that should use the whole window's width and grid
the 3 buttons into columns 0, 1 and 2 .
