That doesn't look like you're using grid layout to me. It looks like
you're using packing layout, which is a fine tool for simple layouts but
it's not very flexible and it requires a lot more playing around and it's
all but impossible to do a flexible auto-resizing layout that allows stuff
like aligned multi-columns above and below a spanned column... which is
trivial with grid layout.

And... are you sure you didn't use floats?

| DIV.sidebar
| {
|   vertical-align:	text-top;
|   float:		right;
|   width:		20em; /*30%;*/ /*auto;*/
|   margin:		0 1em 0 .5em;
|   border:		1px solid black;
|   padding:		0;
|   background-color:	#CCCCFF;
|   color:		#000000;
| }

I used to find myself on the defensive with this back before Tk had the
ability to use grid layout, and I had to admit that getting certain
effects in Tk before the grid layout engine was created was way too
complex.

There's stuff above here
