Ah. Well, the layout always contains a row for the key (with height 0), 
even if the key is not actually there (the same holds for all the other 
components). Not having it would mean a lot of headache for me (as the 
programmer) since I would have to keep track of a lot of information to 
know which row in the layout corresponds to what. 

So, for instance, the space above the plot area (assuming no key, no 
main) would be [the space at the top] + [space between the 0-height 
main and the 0-height key] + [space between the key and the top axes].
