Hi Justin,

I was contemplating writing my own layout manager for this task, but
don't know if it's necessary. I have a list of 8 panels to show,
whether they all fit on screen or not (they're housed in a ListView).
This is like a default set of buttons:

  "Apple"
  "Orange"
  ...
  "Grape"

If I can see that the screen is tall enough to hold a few additional
items, I'd like to add one or two additional panels:

  +=
  "Lemon"
  "Pear"

so it's not critical, but would be nice if I could maximize the number
of elements in the list (without scrolling) before the UI is displayed
for the first time,

Thanks
