HUD window flicker on resize #176

My project uses macwidgets, and one of the windows uses HudWindow, but when you 
resize the whole thing gets repainted repeatedly causing massive flicker:

Thought I'd mention that since the HUD looks like it probably uses the 
setUndecorated(true) method on the JFrame(?) this will cause resize flicker on 
the mac currently. I was recently playing around with writing a custom 
JRootPane and found that when I went to set the window to undecorated, I 
understandably lost the growbox in the bottom right corner, I didn't think this 
was a big deal at first, but resizing the frame any other way caused nasty 
flickering, you can also see this if you try to use a third party LAF that 
replaces the rootpane (i.e. Substance). it doesn't appear that there is a good 
way around this:

My guess is that the HUD window isn't really meant to be resized. I say all of 
this without having used it :P but hoping to help point out why it might be 
happening
