Try the Borland XYLayout.  This does not really do very much - it just
sets the bounds of its child components to the values set by the
caller.  Normally the layout manager determines the bounds, so XYLayout
is really kind of a "slacker" of a layout manager.

What might makes more sense for your application is to write your own
layout manager.  Since you already have the code that determines where
the panels should go, this should be trivial.
