Two things:

- This code is now only in the development branch of libgcj. To keep the
AWT/Swing hackers busy and to to distracted by all the other cool things
going on this is only merged back to libgcj proper once a month (then it
needs to me merged back to classpath again). Which means that you will
have to wait till 0.09 probably to play with it out of the box.

- Although we have a TestAWT application, we don't have a TestSwing
application. It would be nice if Graydon could post the sources of the
demos he used for the nice shots at http://people.redhat.com/~graydon/
Hint, hint, ... ;)
