Two issues I'm fiddling around with:

1. When using Panel in a ScrollPane, FlowLayout acts differently. All
components are placed in the same line no matter how many components
you've layed down. The reasoning behind this is rather obvious -- with a
scrolleable panel, the bounds are unlimited. But, I like to figure out
someway of shortcircuiting this behavior -- I want only the vertical
bounds to be unlimited.

2. The next item I was playing around with was to redesign the look of
ScrollPane. I extended a Container, set the Layout to BorderLayout,
placed a ScrollPane (with the parameter of SCROLLBARS_NEVER) in the
Center and had scroll buttons in the NSEW layout areas. The problem I'm
having is trying to emulate the SCROLLBARS_AS_NEEDED behavior. While I
can get the size of the center Panel and compare it to the ScrollPane's
viewport, I don't know how to trigger this comparison when objects are
added to the panel (or panels inside the panel).

Ideas here would be welcome.
