It would be really helpful if you would FIX and DEFINE the relationship
between setVisible(), setClosed(), show(), and hide() for JInternalFrames. In
addition you need to better define what causes INTERNAL_FRAME_OPENED,
INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING, and INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSED events. I've been having to
peek at the source code for JInternalFrame to figure this out, but you guys
seem to keep changing you mind, because the behaviors of these methods in
JDK 1.2.2-001 and JDK1.3rc1 are not the same.

Thinks are made all the more confusing because the "Creating a GUI with
JFC/Swing" trail in the Java Tutorial says "Just as for a regular frame, you
must invoke setVisible(true) or show() on an internal frame to display
[an internal frame]."
(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/internalframe.html)
But setVisible( true ) and show() do NOT do the same thing.
