Hello Greg,

in the meanwhile I could work with your solution and it wirks perfectly fine.
Thank you very much for the help! The only sad thing is, that this means, that I
cannot use the decorated-frame with swing-components but instead have to
activate the "Swing-only" - option when using the assistant to start a project
with an application. But this maybe a necessary step anyway.
