Some AWT feedback

Hello Andreas, Mark, Michael, 
thanks for your fast replies, all with the same question:

I used the gcc-4.0-20050130 snapshot, because (a) last time I tried 
a cvs checkout the download took ages, and (b) the cvs checkout turned 
out to be rather broken. For a part-time gcc hacker, using a snapshot is
a lot easier... On the other hand, I explicitly installed all the
goodies, including cairo-0.30 and used -enable-gtk-cairo.
Anyway, I'm downloading the gui branch right now. More to come later...

BTW (1): did any of you GUI hackers try to compile my little challenge
from Saturday (http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2005-02/msg00016.html) ?
 gcj --encoding=iso8859-1 -c niffler/*.java
 gcj -o niffler.exe --main=niffler.JImageViewer *.o
BTW (2): a few classes like DefaultMutableTreeNode still contain some
of the dreaded stub methods, resulting in silent failures when used.
Should I submit bug reports in such cases?
