JApplet (quite inconsistently) has no paintComponent().
OTOH - I feel 'paint' should neve be overridden in
root level containers.  As soon as the paintComponent()
of a JFrame is customised, management realises they
actually want this as an applet, or in a floating
JOptionPane/JDialog.  If the custom painting is done
in a JPanel, OTOH, the component can be dropped into
whatever other container is needed.
