My guess is that because you are deriving your ImageButton
from a "heavyweight" (i.e., regular AWT) component, and
your menu is (just guessing) a "lightweight" component
(JMenu, etc.) you are experiencing the "lightweight / heavyweight"
painting problem.  This used to be discussed in the "Hints and
Tips.html" file (haven't look at it recently to know if it 
still is in JBuilder version 3.5).

One solution would be to derive your custom button from 
JComponent.
