It actually is a bug or two, give or take a few...
Tom has been working on the AWT GTK peers that come with GNU Classpath
and you can already use it a bit as shown in the following screenshot:

For instructions how to play with this yourself see:

And the current status:

The idea is to make this part of libgcj after the 3.3 code freeze.
