Sounds like the image was not in the right place, or the source path/output
path was not correct on the Solaris machine. The designer tries to use the
RioGuiFrame.class.getResource("door01.gif") form for specifiing the image
file URL. It needs to find a nearby class file that is in the project in
order to do that though. If it cannot find a class file it generates the
ugly  URL
new
java.net.URL("file:////home/rita/Projects/RioControl/images/door01.gif")));
instead. Since it did so, that would mean that door01.gif is not in the same
directory as RioGuiFrame.class  anymore. (or the package name for
RioGuiFrame.class does not match the directory structure from the output
path).
