Someone earlier in this thread suggested something like:

> 	p = Panel.new(
> 		Button.new( "Hey, world!" ), ALIGN_LEFT, MORE_CONSTRAINTS,
#...
> 		Panel.new(
> 			Slider.new( 0, 10, 5 ), SOME_CONSTRAINTS, #...

> 		login_panel, CONSTRAINTS
> 	)

and commented that:

but with FXRuby, callbacks wouldn't have to affect the tree, since the links
to callbacks
are just one of the "MORE_CONSTRAINTS". 

How hard would it be to implement this style?
