I wrote a library for GUI applications to catch data posted
on system clipboard without having users pointing mouse to that
application frame. If one of the application had mouse focus and
lost it, this particular frame would not be able to access
system clipboard via getSystemClipboard() method. If I move
mouse into that frame again, it will work again.

This particular bug appears only on Solaris (Sparc) platform.
The same code work fine on NT. I have reported this bug when
JDK1.1.2 released, but it does not get fixed through 1.1.3 and
1.1.4. A different bug appeared on 1.1.2 for NT is gone, but
this Solaris bug is still there. Is that because X-server characteristics
or X11StringSelect implementation. If this can't not be fixed, I have to
get different implementation soon since I can't not provide different
behaviors on different platforms.
