Frode:

The problem has existed in one form or another since pre-Beta Java. 
It's just much worse in JFC.

Here are some of the workarounds to try (no guarantees).

1.  repaint() -- call it.  heavy handed, but works most often.
2.  wiggle the container by changing it's size a couple pixels and
resetting it.  You may have to go a ways up the container chain to
find the right one.
3.  tickle it.  wiggle and then do the validate() dance
4.  lie to it. -- do an add and a remove of a very small component and
make doLayout fire.
