And there-in lies your problem.  Never do this.

I worked with cross-platform GUI's in C for years.  This issue of 
switching L&F on the fly is a thorny one.  EVERY L&F has differently 
sized frame decorations, so when you start sizing the frame and messing 
with L&F at the same time, you will never get what you want.

If you want your application to fill the screen, then set it 
"maximized".  See Frame.setExtendedState(int) for details.
