CheckboxMenuItem.setState(boolean) doesnt show the set state in the Menu
though it does register the state internally. To reproduce this, run the
CheckboxMenuItemTest.java test case. Clip Dump Status button once the
applet is loaded. Notice that the second and third menuitems are supposed
to be true but the menuitems dont show that.

The description field as copied from bug report 1243857 follows:

The first time the CheckboxMenuItem comes up, it always shows as "unchecked"
even the setState(true) call has been made.

This only happens on Solaris.

Since the CheckboxMenuItem constructor does not have a argument for setting the
initial state, the code in JDK/src/solaris/sun/awt_MenuItem.c always set it to false(unchecked):

        if (unhand(this)->isCheckbox != 0) {
            XtSetArg(args[argc], XmNset, False); argc++;
            XtSetArg(args[argc], XmNvisibleWhenOff, True); argc++;
            mdata->comp.widget = XmCreateToggleButton(menuData->itemData.comp.widget,
                                                      clabel,
                                                      args,
                                                      argc);
