Until this conversation I thought AddGlue() meant to prevent two view 
from moving away from each other.

That's pretty much the opposite of what it does... glue makes things 
stick together... permanently.

Yep.  I found it totally unintuitive when I first came across it
(in some othe GUI scheme, I think -- can't remember exactly which).
