Looking at it after reading this I switched to using the Box layout and
simplified things a bit.  That solved the problem.  I'm still unsure of
why the panel didn't show up, but the problem is solved.  I have decided
that using the group layout that the IDE selects by default is probably a
bad idea unless there is some reason to justify it.  The other layouts
probably handle most tasks without a problem.  

Thanks.
