I've just ran SymbolTest and I got the window to show up, the selector
was there and edit control too, though the rest of the window was empty.
I tried to run it with gij but I got some Exception and with Kaffe it
showed up empty rectangles instead of any symbols.

In SableVM the controls that showed up basically worked, though I was
getting tons of such messages:
*** Couldn't bind native method Java_java_lang_VMThread_isInterrupted
***
*** or Java_java_lang_VMThread_isInterrupted__ ***
Exception during event dispatch:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError
   at java.lang.VMThread.isInterrupted (VMThread.java)
   at java.lang.Thread.isInterrupted (Thread.java:566)
   at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run (EventDispatchThread.java:65)
   at java.lang.VMThread.callRun (VMThread.java:116)
   at java.lang.Thread.callRun (Thread.java:343)
   at java.lang.VirtualMachine.runThread (VirtualMachine.java:117)

I guess we won't get rid of these before thread.interrupt() and friends
are implemented. But I see it as a work in progress, like for all of
the free java implementations, therefore marking this bug "wishlist".

Thanks for your help,
