can't left-justify icons in a JMenuItem (need setDefaultTextIconGap()...)

...in BasicMenuItemUI (and corresponding getDefaultTextIconGap())

original synopsis: "no way to make icons in JMenuItem truly left justified"

There is no way to get rid of the gap on the left side of a
JMenuItem. This is controlled by the defaultTextIconGap
member variable in BasicMenuItemUI.

This needs a get/set method.

JPopupMenu popup = new JPopup();

JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem();
menuItem.setIcon(someIcon);

popup.show();

The image is not left justified even if you set all left justification.
