 * A blank, non-interactive item that has a settable minimum size.  The

 * enforcing a particular minimum height of a row.  The application can set 
 * the minimum width or height to any non-negative value.  The implementation 
 * may enforce implementation-defined maximum values for the minimum width and 
 * height.
 *
 * <p>The unlocked preferred width of a <code>Spacer</code> is the same as its
 * current minimum width.  Its unlocked preferred height is the same as its
 * current minimum height.</p>
 * 
 * <p>Since a <code>Spacer's</code> primary purpose is to position
 * other items, it is
 * restricted to be non-interactive, and the application is not allowed to add
 * <code>Commands</code> to a <code>Spacer</code>.  Since the
 * presence of a label on an <code>Item</code> may affect
 * layout in device-specific ways, the label of a
 * <code>Spacer</code> is restricted to
 * always be <code>null</code>, and the application is not allowed
