It's a bit complicated: You need to use every component's relative
position (x,y) to determine what cell they go in, and then use no
fill, no weights, northeast attachment and internal padding equal to
the size minus the insets.

It can be done (obviously, since JBuilder's designer does it), but why
not use GBL in the first place?
