This is the approach I first took and found that the 'busy-waiting'
produced the same result as SYNC. That's why I took the timer-based
approach. You need to give the system time to think about performing the
setVisible. My approach only requires an additional onTimer routine so I
don't see why this method won't work for you.

A learning experience is never a waste of time... Good luck with whatever
you decide to do.
