I've got JDK 1.1 on my 2.2.5 system and it works well for non-AWT programs
but as soon as I try to use any AWT-releated methods, I get:

	java.lang.NullPointerException
		at sun.awt.motif.MFramePeer.<init>(MFramePeer.java:59)
		at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.createFrame(MToolkit.java:153)
		at java.awt.Frame.addNotify(Frame.java)
		at java.awt.Window.show(Window.java)
		....

I'm pretty sure this is not a shared library problem, because 'ktrace' shows
libXm being mapped, and because a simple program using java.util.zip.ZipFile
succeeds in dumping the zip file's table of contents.

Anybody have any idea what's wrong?
