But if you do that, you will end up painting over the PacMan.

I think the problem is with your PacMan image.  If the area within the 
image rectangle but outside of the image of the PacMan is black, then 
you will have the problem no matter how you draw it.  The solution is 
to make the background of the image transparent.  The Java Graphics 
class knows how to handle transparencies in images.

As I said, I don't think that will fix your problem.  But you can wait 
for images to load using the MediaTracker class.
