Suppose your panel contains a custom widget where you create a handler as a non-static inner class, and suppose you add that handler to another object outside the panel. Unless you are careful to remove the handler when you reset the panel, the handler still holds a reference to its enclosing widget, and the widget cannot be garbage-collected. It's an old problem in the Swing world. I wrote things slightly backwards earlier. Sorry about that.
