So far, I have tested 3 of my Piccolo applications, and found only 1
problem in one of the 3 applications. My problem is exhibited with the
release candidate 1.3 rc1, but not with our previously used snapshot
r390 (circa 9/9/2008), and it also appears to be related to PSwing; a
panel with 2 radio buttons is shown in the scene graph, but is
noninteractive. This problem by itself wouldn't suggest to me just
cause for opposing rc1, unless there is no application-side fix (rather
than piccolo or pswing fix) that can resolve or workaround the problem
(I don't yet know whether there is an application-side fix). However,
based on cmalley's remarks below, I don't think this version should be
promoted to a release, and perhaps we'll be able to isolate and resolve
my issue as we are working on the related pswing issues.

PSwing appears to have some new problems, and PhET (my client) relies
heavily on PSwing. Specifically:
(1) Visibility issues; there are nodes that should be visible and are
not, and vice-versa.
(2) Bounds issues; computing PSwing offsets for the purposes of layout
is resulting in additional whitespace.
I've observed problem (1) in 3 applications, problem (2) in 1
application, on both Windows and Mac platforms. I've been trying to
isolate the problems in small test applications, but have been
unsuccessful so far. I'm going to continue with that effort a little
longer, then have a look at PSwing changes.
