A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
StyleSheet.BackgroundImagePainter uses an ImageIcon to load and paint the background image for an HTML page. Unfortunately, this means that the image is never reloaded as long as the application runs. Instead, it should use createImage to load the image, so that changes are picked up.

This is closely related to the recently fixed bug 4725530. However, the fix for that bug was performed in ImageView. Now BackgroundImagePainter needs the same change, so that background images will perform properly as well.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use Toolkit.getImage(...).flush() at some appropriate time to cause the image to be discarded and reloaded.
