That's interesting. Why are you not using a layout manager?

I agree about the interesting part. I am a strong advocate of the
fact that if there is any complexity whatsoever in a custom layout,
it should be encapsulated (written, coded) in a LayoutManager.

( Definining a custom layout manager is a lot easier than most
people think. )

OTOH - a lot of the things people expect can only be provided
by a custom LM (or a null LM) can coded using Sun standard
LMs, just by using 'nested layouts'.
