[MonoDevelop] Stetic question - widget size

[Zac Bowling]

Think of it liked a flowed layout mode (its like like
system.windows.form but all you can use is control docking). Static
layouts are nasty and sometimes dangerous, but if you must, there is a
static layout container (but I really discourage you from using it).
