Well, if one sets one's system display to 16 color (high bit), then the
problem goes away. It's still annoying, though. I've gotten spoiled to
higher resolution screens. I suspect the problem has something to do with
the way in which the Java window presents itself to the system in terms of
its palette, but it would take too long to figure it out...
