The attached source code and gif files are derived from the Java Tutorial for
the Swing classes. It sets up four JCheckBoxes, but the error has been observed
for other AbstractButtons. The four JCheckBoxes are labeled, from top to bottom,
Chin, Glasses, Hair, and Teeth. The text alignments in the source code
of the four are:
  Chin -- LEFT, TOP
  Glasses -- LEFT,BOTTOM
  Hair -- RIGHT,TOP
  Teeth -- RIGHT,BOTTOM
The observed text alignments are
  Chin -- LEFT, BOTTOM
  Glasses -- LEFT,TOP
  Hair -- RIGHT,BOTTOM
  Teeth -- RIGHT,TOP

The other AbstractButton text alignment failures are visible in the SwingSet
demo that ships with the JDK.
