I've created a splash screen by  extending Window (instead of
Dialog--thanks, Greg H) and including a GIF image in the Window.
Trouble is it flickers horribly as it loads (it's bad with interlacing
turned on, is worse with it off, and was not nearly so bad when
extending Dialog instead of Window).  Is there a way to get it to paint
smoothly?  Thanks.

Here's the relevant code:

      splash_img.setFlat(true);
      splash_img.setImage(ImageLoader.loadFromResource("SITEsplash.GIF",
this));
      xYLayout1.setWidth(486);
      xYLayout1.setHeight(324);
      this.setLayout(xYLayout1);
      this.add(splash_img, new XYConstraints(0, 0, 486, 324));
      this.add(panel1);
