This problem reminds me of one that I had: I had an applet with a
bunch of componenets (text components, etc) that were calling
repaint() about once per second. I found that if I gave focus to a
TextArea (clicked in it), no redraws would happen unless I moved the
mouse around (i.e. caused events). As soon as I clicked in some other
componenet, things went back to normal, and things were properly
redrawn once per second without moving the mouse.
Could it be related?

This bug doesn't sound as much like my bug.
