Thanks for including a test case -- that's nice.

Honestly I don't know much about lightweight components.

It seems incorrect to bless one particular lightweight component
implementation in Toolkit.  I think this should depend on the
particular Toolkit.

So I think the code in your Toolkit change should go into
XToolkit.java.


It's likely I'm missing something.  If it does make sense to bless a
particular lightweight component implementation, then this should be
dealt with in Classpath first.
