Thanks Rolf. I was intending to get on to that over the weekend, but I got
distracted onto the collections stuff.

Do we need the "G" in "GLightweightPeer"? It might create confusion with Gtk
etc.

Why intantiate the dispatcher in Toolkit? Note that it is private, and can't
be manipulated by toolkit subclasses. I think we should put
LightweightDispatcher in Container.java, to emphasise that only Container
should ever use it.

Oh, I see. I have to admit that I'm rather dubious about the
multiple-toolkits-at-the-same-time idea. It seems like one of those cool
sounding but not really so useful features to me.
