In ICEMail, I had a problem with the rendering when I was trying
to mix a JLabel with my own drawing. That was bad. I think, however,
that if I went with my own JComponent I could get it to work right,
but then I am reproducing JLabel, which sucks.

How did you manage to get the columns of labels to line up properly?
In other words, how did you get the timestamps to line up vertically,
or did you just punt on that?
