have you tried using sun's swing 1.1.1 with kaffe? citing from the FAQ.awt:

We completely support Swing. The version that works best with kaffe is
JFC 1.1 with SWING 1.1.1, available from
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/download.html. Later versions may or
may not run. Patches to get them to run are welcome. It would be in
general preferable to help out GNU Classpath to implement SWING,
though.

the qt-awt implementation is not as stable or polished as the Xlib one. so
consequently, we are looking for AWT hackers who know a deal about Qt to help
improve it, and fix the remaining issues. It would be very nice if you could
help out, since you
a) are using AWT
b) are using Qt
c) last but not least have a personal interest in seing it fixed ;)

So if you're not tainted (i.e. haven't looked at or disassembled Sun's code, or
signed some NDAs that would prevent you from contributing) I'd propose to start
with a cleanup patch, that removes all the commented out and ifdef 0 -ed
portions of code from the Qt-based AWT implementation. Then it should be easier
to spot the bugs ;)

cheers,
