And look into it I did.  I tried your test case with GCJ's
java-gui-branch AWT, and it seems to work fine.  Also, the GridBagLayout
implementation in kaffe CVS head appears identical to the implementation
we have in GCJ java-gui-branch.  So the problem seems to be elsewhere in
kaffe.  I would suggest trying GCJ's java-gui-branch AWT/Swing as Tom
Fitzsimmons has suggested.  Please let us know how that goes.
