I wouldn't use TableLayout for this; I'd use ProportionalLayout. You 
give specs that can position a submorph relative to its parent. Or 
I'd just do it like TwoWayScrollPane does it, by just doing the 
layout "manually". You can also override doLayoutIn: for this kind of 
thing.

Anyway, the ScrollBar just looks at its bounds to determine that it's 
horizontal:

buttonExtent
	^ bounds isWide
		ifTrue: [11 @ self innerBounds height]
		ifFalse: [self innerBounds width @ 11]

And the scroll pane doesn't use a layout manager. It just does this:

resizeScrollBar
	"used to handle left vs right scrollbar"
	yScrollBar bounds: (bounds topLeft extent: 16 @ (bounds height - 
16)).
	xScrollBar bounds: ((bounds left + 16) @ (bounds bottom - 16)  
extent: (bounds width - 16) @ 16).
