Note that the latest debian packages store the JNI libraries in
/usr/lib/jni.

I played a bit more with it. And as long as I don't use glib timer
callbacks I can play a bit with some windows and widgets.

One of the problem with glib Timer support is that kaffe doesn't
implement JNI_OnLoad() which java-gnome uses to store a pointer to the
JavaVM for use in its own callback funtions.

But even if I work around this I don't get that far when enabling the
glib timer. Often kaffe will say that all threads are deadlocked. This
seems to come from the fact that native method GtkMain() never returns.

Dumping live threads:
