A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I am using JFrame for my application. In order to share
classes, I created an extension of java.awt.Container and
added this container via myFrame.setContentPane(cont). Every
time I start the application I get a black or colourful
distorted background although I tried
cont.setBackground(Color.white). When I maximize the window,
the background is always black (but input fields are shown
correct).

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. create an extension of java.awt.Container
2. create a new JFrame and set the content pane
3. set the background colour of the container

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I wanted to have a white background :-) It seems that
setBackground has no effect.

This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.Container;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import java.awt.Color;

class MyContainer extends Container {
        MyContainer() {
                super();
        }
}

class MyApp extends JFrame {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
                new MyApp();
        }

        MyApp() {
                super("My Application");
        
                MyContainer cont = new MyContainer();
                cont.setBackground(Color.white);

                this.setContentPane(cont);

                this.show();
        }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------
