There are a number of ways:

	When drawImage returns true it means that the entire image
	was drawn (it will return false if the image was incomplete).

	You can use the MediaTracker (shipped with beta, not with
	prebeta, a prebeta version is also available from my home
	page <http://www.java.com/people/flar/>.  The MediaTracker
	will allow you to check a whole bunch of images at once for
	completeness, or even block waiting for the images to be
	complete.

	When the image is complete, if you have done either a drawImage
	on it or a Component.prepareImage for it using your applet as
	the ImageObserver then your imageUpdate routine will be called
	with various status indications, including an indication of when
	the image is complete.  Normally the base Component class
	implements this for you and simply repaints your applet when
	new data arrives for the image...
