JDK-4191142 - Calling paint() on a non-visible component throws NullPointerException
Description

Name: vi73552			Date: 05/21/99


I get a NullPointer Exception when opening a new frame on
certain occasions. here are the first two lines of the exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at javax.swing.JComponent.paint(JComponent.java:472)
	at java.awt.Component.paintAll(Component.java:1841)
	at vista.app.SessionTable.updateView(SessionTable.java:111)

The problem is with these lines in JComponent.java
	  
	    Rectangle clipRect = co.getClipBounds();
            int clipX = clipRect.x;
	The clipRect could be null in which case it should be 
checked for and appropraiate action should be taken.
