[vtkusers] java problems (swing)

[Jeff Lee]

Since this also happens in jdk1.4.2, i think it is an nvidia problem.  I 
came up with a test which reproduces the problem and I have them looking 
at it now - I will post their findings when I hear back.  Editorially 
speaking, I would sooner revert back to 5336 than hack around 
System.exit() - is there something in 6106 that you really need?  Good luck.
