I would like to display a graphics file as my program is loading.  Does
anyone know how to do this?  I would like to use a java.awt.Window object,
since it doesn't have any minimize, maximize or close buttons, like Frames
and Dialogs do.  It will look cleaner in a Window, I'm told.  The following
is my code, which is placed at the start of my jbInit():  (BTW this is an
application, not an applet)

    Window w = new Window((Frame)this);
    w.setSize(250, 250);
    w.setLocation(200, 200);
    Image img =        
w.getToolkit().getDefaultToolkit().getImage("c:\\images\\image1.jpg");
    w.show();
    Graphics g = w.getGraphics();
    g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
    g.drawString("hello, world!", 0, 0);
    w.repaint();

A grey box appears when this is run (letting me know that the window was
drawn), however there is no image, and also there is no "hello world"
message, as there should be if this was working.  Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
