The following test case shows that the GraphicsConfiguration of a BufferedImage
will report the bounds of the first BufferedImage of that type that was
created.

------- BIGCTest.java -------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;

public class BIGCTest {
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
	int type = BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB;
	BufferedImage img1 = new BufferedImage(10, 10, type);
	BufferedImage img2 = new BufferedImage(20, 20, type);
	GraphicsConfiguration gc1 =
	    img1.createGraphics().getDeviceConfiguration();
	GraphicsConfiguration gc2 =
	    img2.createGraphics().getDeviceConfiguration();
	System.out.println("config1 bounds = "+gc1.getBounds());
	System.out.println("config2 bounds = "+gc2.getBounds());
    }
}
