This might be what you are trying to do:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.*;
public class TestInternalFrame extends JFrame
     ImageIcon icon;
     public TestInternalFrame()
          icon = new ImageIcon("????.jpg");
          JDesktopPane desktop = new JDesktopPane()
             public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
                  Dimension d = getSize();
                  g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), 0, 0, d.width, d.height, null);
          getContentPane().add( desktop );
          final JInternalFrame internal =
               new JInternalFrame( "Internal Frame", true, true, true, true );
          desktop.add( internal );
          internal.setLocation( 50, 50 );
          internal.setSize( 300, 300 );
          internal.setVisible( true );
     public static void main(String args[])
          TestInternalFrame frame = new TestInternalFrame();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.setSize(400, 400);
          frame.setVisible(true);
}
