After several tries, and resolving several dependancies not mentioned in
jhbuild sanitycheck (if anyone knows how to list installed Debian
packages by install date/time, I can submit a complete list) I've
succeeded in completing the jhbuild as outlined in
http://people.redhat.com/fitzsim/gcj-and-jhbuild.html.

As David said, the AWT/Swing branch of gcj has no problems with my test
case (see attached screen print).  It runs fine both interpreted and as
a native app.  I will attepmt to compile my entire project to a native
app as soon as I can, and see how that goes.

In the meantime, should I attempt to determine why the layout works in
gcj, but not in kaffe (see other screenshot)?

I've attached my test source file again, in case anyone is interested in
running the test case in their own VM, or if anyone else wants to look
for the problem in kaffe.
