In 1.4, the windows of tutorial examples tended to be a bit too tall when
run using Java Web Start. The result was sometimes a bit ugly, but they were
usable.

In 1.5 (beta 1 & beta 2), the windows are too short! This is very noticeable
in every example I've tried and makes some of them (for example, HelloWorldJWS)
unusable unless you enlarge the window.

This problem seems to occur when both of the following are true:

1. You're running the app using Java Web Start (presumably the warning
   displayed at the bottom of the window is a factor).

2. You're using look-and-feel-provided window decorations
   (JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true)).

Both of these are true for almost every Swing tutorial example,
so they all look buggy.

The cause seems to be pack() not allocating enough space, but I
can't tell whether it's the warning or the title bar that's not
being taken into account.

Two of the many examples that show this problem:
