Hmm...  how are they disappearing?  Are there just holes in the painted
area of the right size?  Painting could be DirectX issues.

Are they gone and the layout manager has shifted items into their
places?  Components disappear when they fall outside the rule for the
container layout.  The 6th compoment added to a BorderLayout gets shoved
to 0,0 at size 0,0.  In effect, it disappears.  If you have constrained
the number of components in a GridLayout, you can also have things
disappear (actually I don't think they ever show up).

Of course, there *is* the package javax.bermuda.triangle that seems to
pop up every once in a while.
