JWindow displaying sporadically

Question

I have a method that creates a JWindow and displays it, it works when I call it from my main method, as well and a few others, however when I call it from some, it displays just a white box where my JWindow should be, any have any ideas?
I the method I am using to open the JWindow is as follows:
private static void showLoader(){
JWindow loadscr = new JWindow();
loadscr.getContentPane().setLayout(new java.awt.FlowLayout());
loadscr.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("Loading..."));
loadscr.pack();
java.awt.Dimension screenSize = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
loadscr.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(239, 105));
loadscr.setLocation((screenSize.width-239)/2,(screenSize.height-105)/2);
loadscr.show();
Thanks

I had the same problem and solved it this way.
(The problem occurred with JWindow in a Linux-KDE environment, jdk 1.3)
java.awt.Dimension screenSize = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
w.setLocation((screenSize.width-500)/2,(screenSize.height-300)/2);
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("...");
w.getContentPane().add(new JLabel(icon));
*     pack() before the probable reSize()
w.pack();
w.setVisible(true);
w.show();
* I had to call the show() method in addiction (I haven't tried in substitution of) setVisible(boolean)
* Most of the times the pack() method sets JWindow height and width == 1
if (w.getHeight()==1){
w.setSize(icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight());
w.repaint();
I read the problem should be solved in jdk 1.4
