As a diversion, I eliminated the file chooser dialog that allows the user to select which storyworld to work with. Now it starts up automatically with Siboot. That simplifies matters somewhat. We can restore the file chooser dialog when we build Dramagine as a separate product.
I am still stumped over the refusal of the Front End window to repaint. The window appears, I can set its title, but I can't get it to paint, no matter where I place the repaint() command. This is particularly frustrating, as I have never experienced a problem like this before. The method repaint() ALWAYS triggers at least one call to paint(). And of course, I can't directly call paint() -- Java forbids that. I hate Java #2363
