Just a note about css tips and trick.
If you play with % sire, the container size has to be known by
renderer, that mean if you have this
table (width=60%)
td (width=10%)
it will awfully fail unless the parent of table has a known width. The
trick is this
<body style="width:100%">
which fixes the width of body and as a consequence, the with of every
child in percentage mode.

I have made a grid bag layout for my company, and to be honest I am
not 100% satisfied with it. There are so many bleeping bugs in IE with
CSS and TABLEs that making a perfect and stable implementation is near
impossible. My current version uses JavaScript to layout the
components, but it results in flashing, which of course our QA
reported as a bug.
If I can get IE to do what it is supposed to do (it doesn't even do
what the MSDN docs says it is supposed to do), I may make a free
version (myfaces for example).
The biggest hurdles:
1) mixing perentages and pixels (fill the remainder type of work)
2) implementing "auto" sizing -- in swing we would say preferred size.
3) dealing with all the, seeming 100s of, layout issues with TABLE in
IE (most CSS attributes and DOM properties for overflow, clientWidth,
scrollWidth, offsetWidth, height, etc. are not computed correctly for
TABLE, TR, TD and TH elements in IE)
CSS3 makes GridBagLayout implementation easy, unfortunately even
FireFox isn't that up to date with the standards (it still lacks the
colspan and rowspan CSS support which is key in GridBagLayout).

The primary functionality of Tobago is layout management like you've
described (and some skinning).
The downside is that you can only use JSF components which are
layout-aware, which is why Tobago components have to be used
exclusively.
You can either use Tobago if it does everything (or almost everything)
you want, or you can try "porting" some of the Tobabo layout logic to
standard JSF.
