Resizing Windows

[Meghal Harish Varia <varia ecf utoronto ca>]

Here's my question.. I hope someone can answer it:

_________________________
|              |        |
|              | Buttons|
|              | & Text |
|Picture       | Boxes  |
|              |        |
|              |        |
|              |--------|
|              | Picture|
|              |        |
-------------------------

The above is the format of my application

I want to handle resizing so that I maintain a certain ratio between the
two vertical sections (the big picture on the left should be about 2 times
as wide as the other vertical slab on the left).

So I get a configure event.  Now is the best way to do this to dynamically
recreate the layout (the buttons and everything, resizing them as
needed?)..

Please let me know..
