10There are several types of window that are directly controlled by the
11window manager (such as MS Windows, or the Motif Window Manager).
12Frames may contain windows, and dialog boxes may directly contain controls.

103There are two different systems for layouting windows (and dialogs in particluar).
104One is based upon so-called sizers and it requires less typing, thinking and calculating
105and will in almost all cases produce dialogs looking equally well on all platforms, the
106other is based on so-called constraints and allows for more detailed layouts.
