TabLayoutPanel that dynamically resizes to selected tab content

Hi,

I'm in the middle of moving from QuirksMode to Standards mode. And I am having an issue to emulate the old TabPanel with TabLayoutPanel.

What I need is a TabLayoutPanel that resizes depending on the tab contents. The original TabPanel had that behaviour, 

but the TabLayoutPanel needs a fixed size.

I found this thread in stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5170324/tablayoutpanel-dynamic-resizing

But I don't really like the proposed solution(s).

1) DecoratedTabPanel or TabPanel are not supposed to be used in standards mode (javadoc of TabPanel says so).

2) hacking the TabLayoutPanel element styles is a bit messy since that is playing with the internals of the Widget.

Any idea on how to implement this behaviour in a post QuirksMode environment, without risk of breaking when 2.6 or 3.0 

comes out ? I could create my own tabpanel implementation, but this seems such a basic requirement. With old GWT quirksmode I 

actually had to fight to get the opposite effect with the tabpanel.
