Problems with vtkPanel on SGI

Hi,
I'm trying to use Java (1.2) with Vtk (nightly version) on SGI
platforms (IRIX 6.5). Everything seems to work quite well except
vtkPanel. When I render something in a vtkPanel it behaves like there
was not Z-buffer.

I noticed that vtkPanel code makes some calls to the sun.awt.motif
class. In particular this call (in the code beneath) might be
responsible for right parameters setting of Z-buffer:

  
public int getWindowID() 
  {
   ........

// X windows support in the next three lines
    X11DrawingSurface wds =
      (X11DrawingSurface)surfaceInfo.getSurface();
------->    int hWnd = wds.getDrawable();

    ..........
  }

I use the same version of Java and Vtk on a WindowsNt PC and vtkPanel
works well.
As for I couldn't find any public documentation on Java sun.* package, I
really don't know how to solve this problem. So, any suggestion will be
greatly appreciate.

Thank you.

Maura
