Well, I can't think of a real-world example for this.
When the notebook is not full page, then usually splitters are used, not 
sizers.
Centering the structure around a use case that happens once a year is 
probably not a good idea.

The lack of a structural edit tool makes it very hard to modify anything 
which is in sizers.
Placing things on the GUI is OK for pixel-placement. But wxGlade 
supports only sizers, so there's a contradiction here....
Of course, for many users and simple GUIs it would be nice to have a 
pixel-placement mode.
