I am having trouble with how JLabels are displayed.  I have a background
image loaded in one JLabel, and I created a second, smaller one to use to
make a hotspot on the first.  I have everything working, including the
ability to add an event handler to the second (and actually have it
invoked), except that the second JLabel is supposed to have a different
mouse pointer than the first (so I can have an obvious visual cue for the
availability of something to click for the area covered by the second
JLabel).  Alas, this part isn't working in that the mouse pointer never
changes.  I find this odd since I DO get my mouse event handlers for the
second JLable invoked.  But the statement
"jLabel2.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));" doesn't
work, regardless of whether I put it in jbInit (where it belongs) or in the
mouseover event handler.

Any ideas regarding what is awry?

Thanks,

Ted
