The panels lay their children out according to the panel's type. Horizontal Panels lay out children (including other panels) horizontally, etc ,you don't explicitly arrange their positions, you create panel types and let the children flow inside. You can make an AbsolutePanel and set the children where you want, but this may not actually be what you want, because when someone resizes the browser, you would have to manually recalculate the position of the children.
The basic idea is, you start with something like a DocPanel for your overall app, then add other panel typs as children of that doc panel. When you're insane or done, you've got a bunch of code to control how your app looks, and it all resizes nicely with the browser.
