Re: Breaking the flow?

The symptom is that the manager block appears at different places depending
on how many items the agenda has. If there is just a few, the manager is
near the middle of the page, and if there's plenty it may appear at a second
page!

What I want to do is to be able to relate the manager block to the bottom of
the page instead of to the above block. Is this possible?
