I think setting Opaque to true means the components will paint over
the background.  You want to set it to false on the components, which
will make the components transparent and allow your background to show
through.  You may have to do that on the content pane of your main
window, too.  It's worth checking.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.  Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
