William:

Stick some diagnostic printlns in your start() and stop() methods.  When
you navigate away, stop() will be called.  At that point, be prepared
for your Applet to die at any moment.  If you go back, start() should be
called but there's a chance that the L&F info (which is loaded only once
via the static initializer) is lost.  At that point, you should get the
default of Metal.

Or, you could just be chasing a painting bug.  You know you have metal
if nothing is 3D.

All that aside, however, if you must use Java2 in an Applet you really
need to use the Java Plugin.  Otherwise you simply won't have the
correct core classes needed for the new JFC.
