Evan,

Thanks for the answer.  As I drew it out, the answer was obvious.
Again, thanks.  Now, is there any way to tell the boxes what their
minimum size should be?  What about a min/max size for the button.  I'll
look it up in the API reference, but I don't think I saw any size
attributes for h/vboxes.  Thanks!

Put the button and the status area into an hbox, the first with 
expand/fill = FALSE and the second with TRUE.

Then put the main display and that hbox into a vbox, with expand/fill = 
TRUE for the main display and FALSE for the hbox.
