No prob.

A Vbox will align it's child widgets vertically however you want; an HBox will
align it's child widgets horizontally whichever way you specify. BUT you can't
use a VBox to specify horizontal alignment, or vice versa. The only way around
it is to specify either another box to pack your widgets in that does give you
control in the dimension you want, or to use a Table widget, which gives you
control in both dimensions.
It sounds complicated, but when you get used to it packing is fairly logical.
By separating out the vertical and horizontal alignment you get the ability to
control them independently in an obvious manner. And if you still don't like
it, that's what the Table widget is for :-)
