I'm not an expert in GUI terminology, but I know that the developers of
the kaffe awt call it lightweight because it does not rely on widgets
provided by an underlying library, such as Xaw or Xt. Instead, things
such as buttons are programmed in Java.
On the other hand, they've decided to put peers back in, although
a limited form thereof which is basically faked. This is apparently
necessary to satify applications such as the Swing libraries, which
make use of some peers directly.
So maybe what you meant is: "kaffe is lightweight but not peerless"?
