I can't reproduce your problem in JDK 1.5 *or* JDK 1.4.2.  I have to assume
that you mean setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH) in the above call.
This was the code I used to repaint in each of the PLAFs.  Hopefully you
are doing something similar...

    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
          "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
      SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }
