finding source of paint events
Hi,
I've inherited maintaining an application written by someone who no longer works for the company. While debugging a custom component, I've noticed that there is a stead stream of events causing constant screen redraws.Here's a stack trace printed from inside of my custom component's paintComponent method during one such redraw. The execution stack is always the same.

Looks like something is throwing update events into the queue, but I have absolutely no ideas how to find what it is. Any thoughts?
Thanks
