No, sleeping isn't the right way to do that. I append a solution that
plays it according to the specs.

If you try this with a small image, you will notice that the Frame size isn't a
exact match. This is due to a Frame size inconsistency we could easily solve
(by removing some code), but which would make it even more "incompatible" with
JDK behavior (NOT specs). This is subject to my next message.
