Hi Erik,

Although this isn't currently supported there are some hooks for making
this work in the future. One is that we can change the damage event handler
so that it draws the appropriate background, the other is that we need to
fixed Graphics.clearRect() so that it draws the applet background rather
than just the background color.
For now you can try to work around it by painting the correct background
yourself. I realize that that isn't a good long term solution...
Have fun,
