On which platforms does it work fine?
I don't think there is anything wrong with this. I just tried it
on the pre-release of JDK1.2, using a remote X server, and I
noticed the label briefly appear and then disappear (which may
happen too fast to be noticeable on a local X server), so I think
this is probably a bug in the Motif AWT peers on Linux.
I also tried it using my prototype GTK AWT peers, and the
label did appear (although I don't think it was in quite the
right place, so I also have a bug).
