Guilherme, Sorry for the very late reply, and thank you very much for the information.
So, `side` seems to have precedence over `anchor`. Very good. I'll experiment with it soon and try to make some time to add my findings and sample code to [the wiki](http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/). In the meantime, I added a LayoutManagement wiki page (linked to from the front page) along with a small amount of content.
