    You might want to keep in mind that JPEGs and PNGs in Java eat up a lot of
    memory when displayed. Depending on resolution and depth, you could add
    megabytes to your app's footprint by throwing up a JPG background. See Bug
    Parade's bug ID 4190828:

             http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4190828.html

    One workaround is to use GIFs instead.
