I'm not sure if I'm understanding you corectly: are you suggesting that the 
buttons are drawn partly outside the area where the panel (i.e. containment) 
is drawn (in other words making the panel containment smaller than the view), 
and then drawing the additional background to make this fit in? The one 
problem I can see there though are that I have to disable the rounded corners 
of the panel (I'll have a look to see how they are currently determined / 
set.). (The layout shouldn't make much of a difference in this method though, 
since at the moment it does exactly what my positioning calculations were 
doing.)
