The chief characteristic is that heavyweight components have a Peer
associated with them. This Peer is typically implemented as a wrapper
around a widget (or gadget if you prefer) from some lower-level toolkit.
It is *not* necessarily a native window in the X sense, though that
may be what AWT on Motif gives you (I don't know).
