Version 7:

I never used GraphicsGrid before, and could not find a way to adjust the 
size of each "cell" to remove the empty space around each entry in the 
GraphicsGrid.

Here is a screen shot to help explain my question:

For example, if you run this command:

===== code ======
a = Text[Style["1234567890", 12]];
b = Text[Style["12345", 12]];

GraphicsGrid[{{Graphics[a, ImageSize -> {70, 20}], Graphics[b, ImageSize -> 
{30, 20}]}},
  Frame -> All, Alignment -> Center]

Grid[{{Graphics[a, ImageSize -> {70, 20}], Graphics[b, ImageSize -> {30, 
20}]}}, Frame -> All,
  Alignment -> Center]

== end code =====

You'll notice more empty space around the second cell with GraphicsGrid, 
compared to just using Grid.

I tried many options, but with no luck.
