JFrame resizing

Hello Group,
why doesn't the following code work?

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class Test extends JFrame {

public void paint( Graphics g ) {
if ( getSize().width != 200 || getSize().height != 100 ) {
System.out.println("Frame Size is different");
setSize( 200, 100 );
}
g.drawString( "A test string", 50, 75);
}

public static void main( String args[] ) {
JFrame f = new Test();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setLayout( null );
f.setVisible( true );
}
}

I'd expect it to change the frames' size after the user has
resized the frame. But that happen only occasionally.
(I actually want to make sure, that the frams' size dosen't
go below a specific size).
