what i have found most convenient is:
1) use only gui-objects from the former iem_gui (sliders, toggles, 
number2!, ...)
2) put all the gui-elements approximately where they should be

3) now: assign an object a receive-label "dummy"
4) close the GoP-abstraction
5) use the messages "size <x> <y>" and "pos <x> <y>" sent to "dummy" to 
  remote-control the position of the object
6) iterate 3-5 until all objects are placed correctly

7) of course there are shortcuts, when all the elements are aligned on a 
grid,...
