I suspect that they didn't get the point. What people are asking for is
that the graphical elements of java be implemented with GTK+ rather than
Motif or some other platform specific GUI kit (GTK exists for win32 now as
well...). Even Swing must at some level call on GUI elements that are
coded not with Java but with a lower-level graphics library.
Besides, Swing is still, well, SLOW. Especially on Linux. I have a
Cel400 w/128meg, so it shouldn't be, but it is.
