Yup. The tree-branch nature of Y means that the each branch takes care of the 
padding and such for the branch above it. When a widget button needs drawing, 
it doesn't have to know how big the window widget it resides in is because it 
does not draw itself. It simply passes the pertinent information down the 
line and the drawing occurs later.
