I have used absolute positioning before (with Visual BASIC) and I can 
not confirm that it's easier to use.
Also, the results usually don't look very good.
For mock-ups there are design programs, but I would recommend to start 
right away in wxGlade. It's easy enough to re-arrange things with 
sizers. You can drag or cut/paste complete parts of the structure. The 
tutorial should get you started on using sizers.

Also, at the moment the data structures could not easily be adapted.
