[Laszlo-user] Basic layout help

[Brendan Fagan]

Windows are floating components.  They can be dragged around by a user.
They do not conform to layouts.

If you want to lay windows out in a specific arrangement, you can set
'x','y','width' and 'height' via static values or constraints.  You can set
allowdrag="false" if you don't want the window position to be changed by the
user.  Also notable is the ability to disable the closing of a window by the
user via closeable="false".

You can use views and most components that extend views in a layout.
Components that ignore layout always have options="ignorelayout".
