Well, I suspect that the classpath team and associated do concentrate 
their effort on the non-AWT/Swing classes because Apache/Server-classes 
and Eclipse don't use them.

In short, FreeMind 0.7.1 (the one in unstable) starts very well with the 
latest gcj, doesn't spit any error, but is completely unusable (and ugly).

I can log a bug along these lines if you want but someone will have to 
dig into it, because, without error message, I don't know where to start.
