I would like to be able to have a XUL element ignore some of its children when computing its desired size. Motivating example: You have a vbox with a label and a couple of buttons, both with not-so-long text. The label, though, has a lot of blurb. Obviously you don't want the vbox' width to be determined by the label. Currently it seems the way to do this is to specify explicitly the width of the label or of the vbox, which is not so elegant IMHO.
And how would you "elegantly" ignore the natural width of the label?
