Aligning subplots nicely?

Is there a handy way to aling subplots nicely?

For example, if I have

  {p1, p2} = {Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}], Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 0.1}]}

and then I do

  Show[GraphicsArray[{p1, p2}]]

Then the two subplots are of different size (because in p2 the
numbers in y-axis are longer, and take relatively more or
the rectangle that GraphicsArray assignes to the subplot),
and the result looks ugly.

I found out that I can do this:

Show[Graphics[{Rectangle[{0, 0}, {1, 1}, kk1], 
               Rectangle[{1, -0.02}, {2.18, 1.05}, kk2]}]];

It looks relatively nice (at leat in certain size),
but I need lots of iterative handwork to tune the
rectangle parameters.

Any better ways?
