File | Exit CANNOT call setVisible(false)!

I set up an action listener on the menu option File | Exit.  In it, I had 
it do a setVisible(false).

I had a component listener that did a dispose() when it saw a component 
hidden.

The only problem is that you get disposed before the menu can redraw, so 
I get this bizarre message (JDK 1.1.7B) that said something like 
"received mouse event on hidden component."

I had no choice but to do a SwingUtilities.invokeLater and in it, have it 
do a setVisible(false).  That way, the menu bar got a chance to redraw 
before the window closes.

Has anyone else had to DELAY acting on menu items because the menu itself 
needs time to redraw?
