Torsten:

XYLayout is "like" null layout but not the same.  With XY the component also
has a size constraint that goes with it.

I've not seen null layout proportionally scale components based on the
container size and a user defined value for the proportion (overriding the
preferredSize of the components to do so instead of leaving them alone when
they say they're already big enough).  How do you do that?
