Although in the 0.6 version it is possibly to restrict the coordinates
of the vertices for some layouts, so what you could do is to separate
the two node types along the horizontal axis, and let things vary
freely along the vertical.

I am not sure if it'll work out well, but maybe it is worth a shot.
See arguments 'minx', and 'maxx' for layout.fruchterman.reingold().
