That's what I figured, and once I found the time (ha!) I'd see if I
could learn enough of Glade to do the re-arrangement.

Heck, I'd even go so far as to say that the positions of the male and
female person shouldn't change in the family view, just whether or not
they are active.  Keeps down the number of updates to the screen and
re-draws.  You just change the highlting of the active person on the
left or right side.

Of course, with same sex marriages, who gets to be the husband and how
gets to be the wife?

And I haven't checked, but is there a way to have the family view be
the default view when you startup gramps?
