/*
 * This program creates a frame that has a GridBagLayoutManager.
 * It creates three rows of buttons:
 *
 *     The first row has one button in it, with a gridwidth of 6.
 *     The second row has two buttons in it, each with a gridwidth of 3.
 *     The third row has three buttons in it, each with a gridwidth of 2.
 * 
 * The problem is that the two buttons in the second row do not get
 * managed so that they split the row in half.  The first button
 * in the second row seems to behave as if it had a gridwidth of 2.
 * The second button in the second row seems to behave as if it
 * had a gridwidth of 4.
 *
 * I have used the GridBagLayout alot with no problems, but I can't
 * seem to see what I am doing wrong in this code, so I assume it
 * is a bug.  I see the same behavior in the 1.2 Beta 3 as well.
