Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I checked in a patch to remove them.

For the CNI GTK peers which are in the libjava tree, displaying a frame 
is pretty much all that I implemented so far ;-)
Others have reported some success using the JNI-based GTK peers from the 
classpath tree. In the long run CNI based peers would be better, because 
CNI is more efficient and maintainable. But it might be that working on 
the peers from the classpath tree is the best way to get something 
running quickly.
