:-) I know that's impossible to do. That's why I called it a flaw,  
and not a mistake.
Graphically, the squares work indeed much better in this lay-out. But  
if the only choice were to decide between 'working' and 'esthetical',  
I'd definitely choose the first.
And my remark wasn't implying a dissaproval of the wonderful work  
you've done with this gallery.
