I am running a java application with '-splash' option and this application basically opens a frame with many buttons on it. When I specify an animated gif image in the '-splash' option, the animated image is shown on the screen but does not disappear when the application opens the frame. The specification claims that the splash screen would disappear when the application opens it's first window.

This is reproducible on SolSparc10-JDS with the following PIT build:
java version "1.6.0-awt.pit-int-awt-blade"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.6.0-awt.pit-int-awt-blade-dm97671_17_May_2005_14_27-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-ea-b36, mixed mode)

I have attached a sample test. Execute the sample test with -splash option and pass the attached image. If the splash screen is shown on the screen even after the frame gets opened, the bug is reproduced.

This is reproducible with all kinds of images and not just animated gif.
