[Bug AWT/16737] New: setBackground(null) throws exception

["gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Acunia's Font.SetFont3 test currently throws a NullPointerException. 
This exception is thrown when the test calls setBackground(null) on a
certain component.  In that situation, the component should inherit
the background color of the nearest ancestor whose background is
already set.

But I'm not sure what should happen if the component doesn't have a
parent.

Fixed in java-gui-branch.  Please verify.

BTW, if a component doesn't have a parent, it's probably a Window or a
Frame object.  These components should get their default bg/fg colours
from the appropriate SystemColor entry.
