Does it matter? The component is needed to create the `MediaTracker` instance. Then, media tracker uses `checkImage` and `prepareImage` which delegate to the `Toolkit`.

Can the application change anything in the `Component` instance which would prevent the `checkImage` and `prepareImage` method from working correctly? *Unlikely*.

Either way, I'm for using a different component to create the `MediaTracker` instance instead of re-using the long-deprecated `component` field. It's cleaner and safer, isn't it?
