I don't know the details, but the java.awt.peer model is more the
other way round:  Store a pointer to the gtk object in the Java
object.  That is easily done by declaring the non-Java field
in a Java object to have the type gnu.gcj.RawData.

In any case, the key thing is to make sure there is a pointer
that the garbage collector knows about.  That should
not be too difficult.
