AWT Event objects should not require finalization

      Currently the AWTEvent class overrides the finalize() method which causes
      that class to be marked as requiring finalization. All GUI events created
      must then be processed by the Finalizer thread before they can be garbage
      collected. Since the Finalizer runs at a fairly high priority, this can
      interrupt the smooth flow of user interaction while the events being generated
      by the interaction are being processed by the Finalizer thread.
