I have now implemented the JPanel route, but I'm still getting
headaches. Redownload (anyone interested) the zip for the two ways I
tried [1]. 

In option one, simply adding the extended JPanel to the contentpane does
display the image, but not in the position within the JFrame I want - it
does seem to put the image in the right spot in the BackgroundPanel.

I have let this JFrame with resizable=true, so you can see the panel in
this case is slightly too large. In the production code it's too small
(because pack() makes the window wider, and I don't know if or how I can
access the BackgroundPanel in the ComponentListerner componentResized).

In option two, adding one JPanel with BorderLayout.EAST, the other with
BorderLayout.SOUTH, all I get is a tiny square off the window bounds. It
becomes visible by resizing (it's to the bottom right).

To reiterate, I want the background image/panel to be anchored to the
lower right corner of the JFrame.

Thanks to anyone taking a look at this :)
