Many thanks for the info...

I changed the LandF from:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());

to:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());

.. this has solved the problem for now -- just means I'm stuck with the naff 
M$ LandF until I explore some options.
