Wow, on a search through my sent email (since my inbox doesn't keep
things as long...) I found this in a previous response to you some
time back.

You can try them yourself if you want.  Compile them (they are in the
usual build these days) then do a little trick Jim Blair recommends
which is to create a directory outside of classpath and symbolically
link to classpath/lib/gnu/java/awt/peer/gtk from
<outsidedir>/gnu/java/awt/peer.  Place <outsidedir> in your
classpath.  Place the native/gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk/.libs in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Using the JDK from Blackdown 1.1.x with native
threads configured, launch some graphical program with the
-Dawt.toolkit=gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GtkToolkit flag for the 'java' VM.

Have fun!
