Looks good to me, and saves me the trouble of submitting it myself
(which I was just about to do). :-)
Let us know if you hear anything from them. They have (eventually)
responded to every bug report I have filed except for one, which is
still outstanding (and, unfortunately, still a bug).

OK, I've raised the following bug with them (I can update the report

Title: Flicker with Java applets
Problem ID: 7264588
Report:
30-Sep-2009 05:04 PM Christopher Brind:
Summary:
When viewing a Java applet on a web page, the applet flickers when the
user finishes scrolling the page.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Go to this page
http://www.insideria.com/2009/09/building-a-slide-gallery-demo.html
2) Scroll down the page.
Expected Results:
The applet should not flicker.
Actual Results:
The applet flickers when the scrolling stops. (It also flickers
randomly when you move the mouse around but this is not reproducible
consistently)
Regression:
I've tried this on OS 10.6.1 on my Mac Book Pro and iMac and it occurs
consistently. Had also noticed on 10.5.? with Java 5, but I no longer
have access to a system of that specification now. This happens both
in Safari and Firefox.
Notes:
Sun provides two system properties that control this behavior:
sun.awt.noerasebackground
sun.awt.erasebackgroundonresize
These do not appear to be supported by Java on Mac.

Hope that's OK.
Cheers,
Chris

Sounds like we might want to submit a bug to them asking them to
support
those two system properties.

We need to get on Apple's case to fix the flicker bug then?

Good to know. Thanks.

Hi Greg,
thanks again for the update.
I've just tried also in a Virtualized Ubuntu 9.04 (with all
patches,
and the latest Sun Java 6), and all works good in Firefox 3.5.x.
Without flickering (but I haven't tried before, without the
arguments
you just added ...), and without scrolling artifacts.
Bye
