You probably want to use a TablePane here. GridPane always makes cells the same
size (same as GridLayout in AWT).
Create a TablePane with two columns and one row. The first column should have a
width of "1*" and the second "-1" (the default). The first column can contain
the Label, and the second should contain a horizontal BoxPane containing the
buttons. The second column will be given only the space it needs, and the first
column will be given the remaining width. FWIW, this is how we lay out the
title bar in TerraFrameSkin.
Hope this helps,
