Ok. How is that selected?

Now wait a minute... There are 2 "arrangement" here. "free" and
"arranging", right?
You said: "free placement (== arranging) of widgets" and "Arranging
means it raises the sub-widgets to max. possible size" but also: "use
"free" arranging and do everything manually".
"Free arranging", is that "manual" or "automatic"?

But the fun thing is that this will make: "fixed width of 2", and
"height max".

not so sure about that. I do not have to resize the widgets I place and
they fill up the space unless I tell them so.

[nitpick mode=on]
This should be:
if (to.width() <= -1 && to.height() <= -1)
return;
to make it clearer that this accepts arbitrary negative values.

interesting.. is this where the "switch" would take place (ie y modifies
x and so on)?

Looks fine.

I think I'm not using "free arranging".

Again, I do not thing so. Modifying the first param changes y:
set cmd_cont [$cons_w container "container"]
$cmd_cont resize "3 -1"
# the container is now of a given vertical size
$cmd_cont resize "5 -1"
# the container is now of a bigger vertical size :)
