Applet.start is not called on the event dispatching thread.  It is called 
in the equivalent of the "main" thread.

Unfortunately, if Applet.stop is also NOT called on the event dispatching 
thread, then how can you do things like close frames and other GUI stuff 
using invokeLater?

invokeLater is not called due to the stop in progress.

Does this mean that I end up having to process GUI stuff from the 
Applet.stop thread, which may mess things up when I try to open up the 
window/Frame again when I get an Applet.start?!
