Description Jindrich Dinga 2006-04-03 15:33:51 UTC 
NB20060330-0731 version

According to guidelines, spacing between two visual groups of components (not distinguished by 
separator) must be:

Windows: N/A 
Metal/Gnome: 18 px

In case a component has 3D effect, 1 pixel must be subtracted from the right and bottom side of the 
component.

Because Windows guidelines doesn't talk about this kind of spacing, I'm suggesting use same spacing 
like in Metal/Gnome L&F, it's 18 px.

We'll handle this the same way as issue 73605 - by providing a new type of gap.
