I didn't try the form.reflow() method.  My main problem stemmed from 
repainting--when I forced it to repaint, the actual components had the 
proper white background but the unused space in the parent was the 
standard dialog color.  In any event, I got it to work with standard 
SWT.  I also ran into a problem when I wanted to put a slider on the 
form.  It probably wasn't intended to be used in the Forms so it didn't 
look right and wouldn't toolkit.adapt() properly either.  So I'll 
probably stick with standard SWT.


Thanks for the suggestion!
