The intervention at the AWT Peer level would only affect Swing in ways
that AWT does on a normal system, i.e. Window and Frame would be affected.
However, as I said in my previous message, we could design our L&F so that
it is easily ported to (or from) Swing, in which case we could make Swing
apps look the similar to AWT-based ones and vice versa.

Keep them coming! It's been a long time since anyone has really discussed
UI on the JOS project.
