This obviously means Lillian, Roman and Anthony are on the right track!!! :)

Seriously, I think the bugs you mention are a consequence of the way Swing is
interwoven internally. If you think certain behavior should be changed then
please write a bug report along with a test application. Please note that
pointing to Sun's test applications is not an option for us. They all have
restrictive license. I am sorry that we have to duplicate all these simple
applications but then it was not our decision to license them that way.

Yeah, I remember that you mentioned these in past mails.

Thomas and Sven (?) are going to give AWT and Graphics2D a revamp. Feel free to
support their task by providing bug reports, test applications, critics, cheer
ups etc. :)
