Although I have talked to the Swing team and made them aware of it, it
certainly wasn't on their radar screen as something important.
I am not particularly surprised that no one else has seen the problem
since its not something Swing easily allows you to do.
Anyway, now they know and a solution will be devised, but for the present
the recommendation stands.
