Shouldn't that be fixed also at gcj? I mean is this really a instruction that 
should cause IllegalComponentStateException or is it a bug in gcj we 
workaround?

Well Sun Java itself doesn't also integrate nicely with Qt/KDE so that is not 
a loss. Anyway any pointer to were to begin looking if anybody wants to 
implements that KDE/qt backed for Classpath.
