As I understand it, the wakeup event stuff won't work with components
other than just the J3D canvas. That is, because you aren't registering
an actionlistener with the canvas when you set the wake criteria, there
is no way to connect the menu items with the j3d behaviour system. The
AWT event stuff only works with events that are directly passed to the
Canvas3D - mouse and keyboard.
To do this, you are going to have to keep references to the appropriate
parts of the scene graph within the application code and then modify on
demand. As usual, don't forget to set the right capability bits.
