OK, but that is not display.  I take it they are being displayed
correctly?

Then you have to make sure that the "hotspot" label is in front.  You
should be able to do that with a right-click / "bring to front" in the
UI Designer.

Mouse events go the the top-most component that has a mouse listener,
so they get through to the hotspot label even if it is underneath.  I
do not think that is the case for cursors.

You might find it easier to work with at first by setting a border on
the invisible JLabel, which will make it easier to see.  You can remove
the border when once you get things working.
