just calling "grid" again (with or without grid_remove
or grid_forget) works fine for me.  try this:

# a simple regridding test

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

def flip():
    buttons.reverse()
    for i in range(10):
        buttons[i].grid(column=0, row=i)

buttons = []
for i in range(10):
    b = Button(root, text=i, width=20, command=flip)
    b.grid(column=0, row=i)
    buttons.append(b)

mainloop()

(just click on any of the buttons to move them around)
