you are right, it has no title (i knew that i just didn't understand how it
worked.) i tried it without the title and it still did not swallow, although
the component bar did move on the screen (as is E was bringing on a new
window) and when i removed the applet from the panel it closed the component
bar. Thought that maybe the lack of a title was causing the problem, so i
tried two other applications. Both of those did the same thing ( and i
managed to crash the panel twice in the process as well, which has been a
very rare occurrance as of late).  is this feature still buggy, or am i
still doing something wrong?
