You shouldn't ever use them together in the same parent but you can mix
and match them with different parents.

That is, you should NOT do this:

     pack .foo.bar1 ...
     grid .foo.bar2 ...

But it's perfectly fine to do this:

     pack .foo.baz ...
     grid .bar.baz ...

In the first case both widgets are being added to ".foo" so you
shouldn't use two different geometry managers in .foo

In the second case, one widget is going to ".foo" and one to ".bar" so
it's fine to use both grid and pack.

Yes
