BTW very cool trick to try with IE 4.0
>From your Applet create a separate thread that runs forever. In that
thread open a Frame, iconify it, and use that Frame to open a Window.
You can now use that Window to paint anywhere on the desktop. Put
something creative in there.
Now, make your thread paint something when the Applet is stopped, and
make sure to catch the ThreadDeath exception in your run() method, so it
never dies.
Open up IE 4.0, load the page with the Applet, and close IE 4.0.
You'll end up with a thread that paints on your desktop and one you
can't kill easily.
