Hi Ken, I'm not an expert on Java2D at all, but if I understand your problem, the OOME is raised by some background thread in ImageFetcher, so your application thread can never catch it.
One thing you could look into is getting the ImageFetcher's background thread into a java.lang.ThreadGroup that you provide. This could be tricky in itself, but if you can do it, you may find that this error is being thrown all the way up to ThreadGroup.uncaughtException(Thread,Throwable) By default, this just prints the stack trace, but you can extend ThreadGroup to provide your own logic to signal the application thread, and get ImageFetcher to use your custom ThreadGroup.
