Hi Michael,

2 bad! I used addPanel on GenericDialog myself and know of it´s
limitations.

However, "intermediately complex" plugins easily have more configurable
options so that
GenericDialogs quickly become too high to fit on smaller screens.

I also would find it VERY useful if one could come up with an updated
version of GenericDialog
that makes 2D placing the dialog elements (so at least on the Java level)
more convenient without
loosing the advantages of it. THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
