If you dont like its layout, define a new subclass or use one of
the existing subclasses: HorizontalPanelView and VerticalPanelView.
+ The panel assumes, that the elements do not resize themselfes, after it
+ became visible. This is not true for all widgets (buttons or labels may
+ like to change). If you have changing elements, tell this to the panel
+ with 'aPanel elementsChangeSize:true'. In that case, the panel will react
+ to size changes, and reorganize things.

PanelViews normally delay the actual positioning/sizing of their elements,
until actually displayed. This is useful, if more elements are to
be added, to avoid repeated configuration of the elements.
