Currently JDesktopPane, or rather Container needs to be retroffited to have the
collections interface because for example, lets say I subclass JInternalFrame
and I add these subclassed frames to the desktop. Well, in order to search the
desktop I have to retrieve all the frames, and then lets say search for a
specific title. Well, once I've found the the frame I want, retreiving them
all and then upcasting back to my subclassed JInternalFrame will not work.

Actually, there are multiple areas of Swing that would benefit from a similar
retroffiting. Once that comes to mind quickly is JList and its relationship to
the Vector class.
