Ok, that should have been:

The only reason I think it may make a difference is that
JApplets in 6u10 disable the clearing of the background on
resize.
I would suggest not to do multi-threaded rendering, it's
generally a bad idea. You don't get any advantage from
doing so, but the rendering code will be too complicated.
One thing you should do when using BS is disable
repaints (setIgnoreRepaint()) - it may help.
Thanks,

Hi Dmitri,
Well I have been quite happy to use an Applet but I found that it's
very problematic to avoid flickering on resizing when there are more
than one rendering threads. I have one thread which is responsible
for rendering the basic layout of the screen and another which renders
an animation. I am struggling a bit with resizing seemingly causing
the back buffer to be cleared but only when both threads have a
different Graphics object for the draw graphics.
Anyway, this isn't happening in my JFrame implementation of the same
program so I figured that perhaps if I change over to using JApplet
and JPanel instead of Applet and Canvas then maybe the problem would
go away.
I have now managed to minimize the flickering by doing a full
re-render when a resize is detected and the second thread is active.
There is still a small degree of flickering but it is probably
acceptable and as good as it is going to get :-)
