I go back and forth on this one.  The Deployment
Wizard and the GridBag Layout dialog boxes are 
sometimes resizable.

Only rarely are the dialogs we've set to be resizable
actually cooperative in this matter.  

But for the most part, "this.setResizable(true)"
just doesn't work.

What's the magic ingredient, if any?

Instead of a new API per minute, or some stupid
Linux port (as if that's important -- what, it's used
by teenaged hackers after midnight on 1% of PeeCees on Earth
and Mars?!  Big effing deal!  Again, a tiny, but vocal 
fringe ...!), Sun ought to just concentrate on getting 
to a point where they can say, "It just works."
