FlowPanel doesn't *do* layout its children; this means that one widget 
changing its size could lead to sibling widgets being resized too, without 
the FlowPanel being even notified about it (e.g. change some InlineLabel's 
text and suddenly another InlineLabel wraps, changing its size).
I therefore don't think a FlowLayoutPanel is even possible.
