SWT never lays out in response to any
methods you call.  update() does not force a layout either.
Only layout causes a layout.

And it still doesn't work, by the way.  The only way I found was to
create
the label with a string of "            
 " (enough blanks to fill the
space) prior to the pack.  From that point on things worked fine.
 Multiple
pack() calls is nto the answer, because that constantly resizes the entire
window.

All I want is a label that I can start out empty and update in response
to
events.  Is that so much to ask?
