I believe there is a Java/Gnome effort, which provides Java bindings
for Gtk and Gnome.  I haven't looked to see how hard it would be to
make it work with gcj.

I think this is a reasonable approach as well.  We still need AWT and
Swing for compatibility and for people who want to write "Java
portable" applicatoins.

This also opens up the possibly weird capability of writing a pure
Java AWT on top of the Java Gtk package.
