Since I did read that paper: http://lucacardelli.name/Papers/Toolkit.pdf in the 
late nineties,
once every few years I try to convince someone to write an implementation of 
that idea for me
because I am too lazy to do so myself.

Seeing the code of HelenOS having direct x,y coordinates with "FIXME:  Auto 
layout", it make me thinks about
that idea once again. So maybe that Auto layout thing is not written yet, and 
you would be more open to read
that paper... than all the others I failed to convince to do it before.

There is a very light possibility I even try to do it myself.

I remember that the author had made a version in Modula 3 back then... back 
then Modula 3 was a very 
very large program for my computer. I might try to find this back.
