Hello John,
question is obviously not dumb. Some cognitive problem arises from the disparity, that McCLIM provides both sheets and gadgets. If you want to lay out buttons vertically, you may either put terpri after each make-pane, or put each button in your layout (the latter is more elegant imho):
-- cut --
(in-package :clim-user)
(defun make-gadget (item) (make-pane 'push-button :label item :activate-callback (lambda (&rest args) (declare (ignore args)) (notify-user *application-frame* "You clicked a button"))))
(define-application-frame test-gadgets () () (:panes) (:layouts (default (vertically () (make-gadget "one") (make-gadget "two") (make-gadget "three") (make-gadget "four")))))
(run-frame-top-level (make-application-frame 'test-gadgets))
-- cut --
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi;
In another app I am writing, I BELIEVE gadgets used to come out stacked vertically. After an upgrade (to current git), I think they come out "diagonally," in that the x & y of successive gadgets increase (presumbly by the dimensions of its preceding gadget). Please find attached the simplest test program I could cons up that displays the behavior, along with a screenshot that shows the behavior.
What is the idiomatic/best way to get them to stack vertically? I messed about (again, mostly unsuccessfully, or I wouldn't be pestering you all) with various approaches, but every time I find myself with a complex solution, it turns out there is indeed a Better, Simpler Way.
Thanks,
