Yet another focus question.

I have a JFrame with a couple of JTextField's on it. I want a particular
JTextField to have focus, a flashing caret and be ready for user input
the moment it becomes visible. I can get it to have focus and a flashing
caret, but the user must always click in the control or tab out and back
into it to be able to actually begin entering text.

I've tried getDefaultFocus(), grabFocus(), requestFocus() and I've even
created my own Focus and MouseEvents and done a dispatchEvent...nothing
seems to work. This is using Swing 1.0.3, the problem seems even worse
with Swing 1.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
