      Bug Description:
      Nimbus shows space between button's border and label even with 0 margins

      The setMargin JavaDoc states: 'Sets space for margin between the button's border
      and the label.' This works fine for all the other installed look and feels
      (Metal, Motif, Windows and Classic).

      The only one that it does not work for is Nimbus where it can clearly be seen
      that there is space between the text and the button.
      When showing a button with all this extra space for a close button on a Tab,
      it looks really bad, and takes up far too much room.

      public class Test {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel");
            JButton button = new JButton("X");
            button.setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
            JFrame frame = new JFrame();
            frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
            frame.add(button);
            frame.setSize(500, 500);
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setVisible(true);
          }
          catch (Exception ex) {
            out.println(ex);
          }
        }
      }

      }
