Which is exactly what I'm doing, except that I've elected to use StackPane
rather than BoxPane, which is a terrible choice for the reasons I mentioned
earlier (not layout-transparent -- even if I put orientation="vertical"
styles="{fill:true}" on my root element, which is a nuisance, it still
doesn't do what I want. Apparently fill only applies to
the orthogonal dimension of the BoxPane's orientation).
