Each submorph of a LayoutMorph can have a LayoutSpec that informs their 
containing LayoutMorph where they want to be on the off/cross axis.  Set 
LayoutSpecs for the Morphs you are adding to the LayoutMorph to see 
this.

Setting the LayoutSpec of the containing LayoutMorph is only significant 
if it is contained within another LayoutMorph.
