Is it perhaps a combination of the heavyweight GLCanvas and the SWING layout manager BorderLayout? This problem described in "Heavyweight and Lightweight Issues", http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-1.1.0/jogl-1.1.0-windows-i586/Userguide.html, although a outdated.

I've tested setting the preferred, minimum and maximum dimensions of both the canvas component and its containing JPanel. Alas to no avail.
