AWT

[Norman Hendrich <hendrich at informatik dot uni-hamburg dot de>]

Hello, 

this is the third attempt to get my mail through your spamfilter...


---

I just managed to get jfig running under GCJ 3.5!  (The AWT version,
that is; I guess I will try Swing again after the next GUI-branch merge):

  archive/screen-jfig-gcj-20040816.gif


BTW, this is the "gcj (GCC) 3.5.0 20040704 (experimental)" snapshot with
the recent drawImage patch.

Status: Most things work, but there are a few issues:

* help menu missing

* annoying flicker for Canvas/Panel subclasses (see attached testcase);
  this also means the app is eating 100% cpu time... why does the event
  loop keeps calling paint() over and over again?
  
* CheckboxMenuItems don't work

* focus problems with nested dialogs (admittedly, the AWT had them, too).

* the buttons really should be transparent. This is either a problem with
  image loading or with Button not getting the dark gray background.
