Why is it that JFrame redraws each time you disable/enable it?  It has 
this hideous appearance when you do that, and the users have to endure a 
junky GUI.

I have thought about disabling each individual component inside of the 
JFrame, but there doesn't appear to be a way to disable tabbed panes.

I also thought about creating an impervious glass pane, but even that 
with keystroke consuming still for some reason allows tab and/or shift-
tab to "get into" the focus of the content pane, and allow the space key 
to cause a button to push.

There appears to be no way around a junky-looking redraw!  Any help?
