As a further thought, perhaps your class should not extend Panel
at all, since you don't intend to USE it as a panel. Perhaps it
should extend Component since that's what it really is. 

It could privately contain a Panel to draw on.
You would probably then have to override all the Component methods
and redirect them to your contained Panel, so that all the paint()
methods and such like actually happen on the contained panel.

This is harder to do, but probably the most 'correct' OOP way.

Steve.
