Your understanding of the packer is wrong :-)

You don't need a frame that covers the whole window - except for design
reasons.

And that's your problem.

Ok, lets draw some lines around this, but beforehand let me explain how
the packer works.
If you create elements in your window and pack them with a '-side =>',
then a piece with the size of your element is cut off along the full
size of the remaining window space.

Does this clear things up a bit?
So what you need to do is:
- create window
- create top button
- create 2nd floor frame
- put 2 buttons - side => 'left' into 2nd floor frame
- optionally create 3rd floor frame
If the remaining 2 buttons take up all the space that's left, this
step isn't needed
- put the last 2 buttons in either the remaining window space or the
3rd floor frame.
