Work insanity seems rampant these days.  My own project was almost
cancelled at SunLabs, and now I need to focus on it more in spite of my
management's former support of my Java-GNOME help.  

In general, the biggest area that needs work are the examples and
demos.  That may seem like junior-level work, but they uncover lots of
problems in the toolkit that a senior-level engineer needs to
investigate.  Since these are also our best documentation, they deserve
extra scrutiny to make sure they are using the toolkit in the manner we
want them to.

If you are looking for a hard problem, Mark and I are seeing lots of
assertion failures.  The ones on my system are caused when
org_gnu_glib_GObject.c tries to copy a widget parameter (Containers fire
signals with child parameters) in jg_signal_cb in the "default" case
block.  If you can shed any light here, that would be great.
