Application hanging at start-up

[Tim Panton - Westhawk Ltd]

We saw something similar a while
back, the problem was that we
were not taking the swing threading
guidelines totally seriously. On a
uniprocessor you can get away
with it (less often with swing 1.1).
So something like:
JTextArea t = new JTextArea();
this.add(t);
t.setSomething();

will cause you problems if 'this'
is already visible. You must do the
set before the add, or in a invokeLater() constuct.
