JDK-4285515 - Make Graphics.clearRect work as advertised for plain Graphics (lightweight)
Description

Name: mc57594			Date: 06/18/97


When calling g.clearRect(..) from the paint method of a lightweight
component (i.e. one that extends Component), the background color used is the 
background color of the parent frame, not the component itself.
