Why aren't the tabs in my JTabbedPane showing? I have a JTabbedPane
with a number of JPanels placed on a JPanel in a JFrame, but the entire
display is just empty. I made sure to call setVisible to be safe.

I'm using antialiasing and transparency in an app I'm writing and I'm
running into some difficulty with the intersection of the two.
