   Size is not the issue for JRE. At present Swing/AWT still
   links with Motif libraries on Solaris as opposed to Gtk
   on Linux.

   Since Solaris Motif is closed and non-redistributable this
   makes a Java GUI non-functional on Indiana. The solution
   is for libawt and friends to either link with Gtk or
   OpenMotif on Solaris.
