It includes dpkg-dev too, to build DEB package. And there is no C++ in XRandR Invert Colors (as far as I saw). So, sebasarena only needed GCC and Make. But, sure, there is little harm in installing additional software you never run.

I've used T40 for some years. To be honest, it's not suitable for modern GNU/Linux distributions. First, it uses ATI discrete graphics. Second, there is no usable Atheros WLAN cards (unless the white list restrictions can be removed). For the hardware, I believe that T40 doesn't support

Java is a huge vector for insecurity anyhow... Although if you need it bad enough, I suppose you could use Basilisk Browser and put it on that. I don't recommend it at all though. Java is after all one of the oldest most insecure vectors for malware. ;)
