hm... what about a:

	protected:
		virtual void createLayout();

method with a default implementation that does what we do now. override that 
to set a layout manger, or if you prefer to just do it manually.

i'd really like to avoid encouraging manual relayouting in the containments 
themselves (people will do it even though they don't have to) and using 
layout managers really is probably the nicest / easiest way to do this for 
most situations.
