During page switch in IE, Java Plug-in may hang if a repaint happen before the applet is completely destroyed. Also, after the page switch, the applet may not be removed from the embedded frame in IE/NS, so this is a potential leak if the frame is not gc properly.

Verified with the Firefly FCS build and the problem is
still reproducable.Swtich between the applet pages before the
applet gets loaded is causing the browser to hang both IE/NS
tested on Windows 98.

To reproduce the Problem :

1. Install latest Firefly FCS build
2. Load the Java Plug-in demos from java.sun.com
3. run th swingset and Java2d demos continuosly run one
   applet and switch to the other before the first one gets
   loaded .
4. Browser hangs after couple of switches between pages.
