[Bug awt/23877] New: call to Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() causes application to hang

[roman at kennke dot org]

This testprogram hangs infinitly although it certainly should not:

class test
{
  public static final void main (String args[]) {
    java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

  }
}

This can wide consequences like applications that hang when they load a font or
similar. After what I have found the problem is that in GtkToolkit.java line 132
the GTK main thread is started, which is not a daemon thread.
