Frank:

In Java, when you change/muck about with components in the container
you need to call validate() on the container (and sometimes doLayout()
works better with Applets) after you make the change.

Simply changing a property on a component in a container in code will
not make that container "wake up" and revalidate itself.

Just a "lousy" Java technique that we all learn to work with.
