I used this trick to try to implement floating windows under JDK1.3; start with
a window and use the JInternal frame to paint its title bar.  You can override
the window's paint method, clip to the area of the internal frame's title bar,
then tell the internal frame to paint using the window's graphics object.

It looked pretty good in combination with setting the window transparent (to get
the rounded corners), but the movement response to dragging the title bar was awful.
