There are two Swing properties that control whether or not a JComponent 
receives the focus.  In my experience, you have to make sure both return 
false to make sure that the component never receives focus.

isRequestFocusEnabled() controls whether a requestFocus() can be done on 
the component.  You can set this with setRequestFocusEnabled().

isFocusTraversable() controls whether the FocusManager will allow you to 
Tab to the component.  For some reason there is no setFocusTraversable() 
method.  In order to change this, you have to subclass the component and 
return the appropriate value.
