I feel completely stupid asking this, but I can't seem to figure it out.

I have a Form containing a Label, a ScrolledList, and a RowColumn.
I want them arranged as follows:

	|        Label        |
	+---------------------+
	| List     |  RowCol  |
	|          |          |

The RowColumn will either contain a set of buttons or be empty, in which
case I want the width to be 0.

When the window is resized, I want the List to grow, and the RowColumn
to stay the same size.

At this point, I have the items arranged fine, but the List and RowColumn
geometries are all messed up.  I can't get the List to extend to the
bottom of the Form, and I can't get the RowColumn to not resize.

Currently, I manage each widget as I create it.  Should I wait until
the last minute to do this?

Alternatively, should I try using something other than a Form to
lay this out?
