It seems to work, but it would be nice if it centered the splash screen instead of doing this:

      this.setLocation( 150, 150 );

Here's some code to center it:
      
      int image_width = image.getWidth(null);
      int image_height = image.getWidth(null);
      
      Dimension screen_dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

      this.setLocation( (screen_dim.width - image_width)/2, (screen_dim.height - image_height)/2 );
