Thanks. I realized what makes the JInternalFrame see through in the sample is actually the setBackground call. The setOpaque() on the JInternalFrame doesn't allow you to see the image layered behind - its as if setOpaque was never called.
So, that's why the example isn't working. For now, I've gone to a JPanel with a "Close" button on it - that seems to work fine. But I'd be interested in hearing about how to do a transparent JInternalFrame - and more, about doing a JInternalFrame with an alpha < 1 (255) for the background color.

Everything works fine, except when moving the knob on my JSlider, the internal frame background fills with random stuff. Any way around that?
