OK I figured it out.  Took me a while.  Apparently the portion which reads:
page=artists,pages=artists

should actually read:
page=[b]artist[/b],pages=[b]artist[/b]

Just one extra letter, lol.  Syntax can be a bitch if one is not familiar with the terminology.

Anyway, see the photo.  Everything looks exactly the way I want it now.  Thank you so much for all your help.

I'd like to post this somewhere so that others may use it if they wish if that's alright with you.

The code in question is:
## Left filter
VPLeft = _HPGenreAndArtist _VBlist
  HPGenreAndArtist = _FPane1(nb=1,hidebb=1,hidetabs=1,page=genre,pages=genre) _FPane2(nb=2,hidebb=1,hidetabs=1,page=artists,pages=artists)
  VBlist = HBstatus _SongList
    HBstatus = SimpleSearch MBlist Refresh ResetFilter PlayFilter -Total
     MBlist = HistItem LSortItem PlayItem


The section it is relevant to in the original /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/layouts is here (I think):
HPfp0 = FPane0(nb=2,hide=1,pages=genre) HPfp1
HPfp1 = FPane1(nb=3,hide=1,pages=artist) FPane2(nb=4,hide=1,pages=album)


You added a few things in the FPanels such as hidebb, page, and hidetabs.  I'm not sure what those do.  You also changed the value assigned to nb in each panel.  Not sure what that does either.  I've changed all of these but nothing seems to help.  Sorry for being so thick-headed.

wow thanks mgrubert.  Seeing what you've done here helps explain things a little.  Thanks you for showing me where the layouts were located.  I had found /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/layouts but thought it was a directory.  I didn't realize that all the layout are specified in one file.

I really like what you've done here.  The only problem is now that everything is set up in the right place the artist pane (FBPane2 I think) is completely blank.  I'm looking at the files and trying to figure out exactly what happened.  I'm just going to keep trying but in case you feel like helping me out a little further here's a screenshot of how it looks now.

Oh and thanks for your help.

Customization / Help customizing stock layouts

I'm running Debian Squeeze.  Can anyone tell me where I can find the layout files that ship with gmusicbrowser by default?  I can't find them anywhere.  What I'm trying to do is simply reduce the width of the playlist in order to allow the album pane to extend all the way from top to bottom.  In other words I want the Genre and Artist panels to sit above the playlist and the playlist should never be wider than the Artist and genre panels combined, with artist, genre, and playlist resizing horizontally  together.  I've hacked around on some other layouts and have a pretty slick fullscreen layout now, but the terminology for these layouts is so cryptic I can't understand it even after reading the documentation a million times.  Plus I just can't find them.  The base layout I'm starting with is "iTunes-like"  See the attachment.  Thanks!
