For now, just modify Component

 void validate () { doLayout(); }

I'm not yet sure if it makes sense to mimic the invalidate / validate scheme.
Since setBounds() automatically calls invalidate(), this mainly seems to be a
rather complicated mechanism for the same effect (that only makes sense in case
you cache previously computed preferredSizes - but this isn't defined in the
specs).
