perhaps I should add that I have created my own version of JPanel because I 
want to have background images so I needed to override the paint() method.. 
the code for paint() is here (although I don't think it makes any difference 
for the problem):

  public void paint(Graphics g) {
    if (tracker != null && image != null) {
      if ((tracker.statusAll(false) & MediaTracker.ERRORED) != 0) { }
      else if (tracker.statusID(imageID, true) == MediaTracker.COMPLETE) {
        int x = 0, y = 0;
        while (y < getSize().height) {
          x = 0;
          while (x < getSize().width) {
            g.drawImage(image, x, y, this);
            x += image.getWidth(null);
          }
          y += image.getHeight(null);
        }
      }
    }
    super.paint(g);
  }
