When running steve.wilson@eng's SheetMetal application, several locale
data classes are loaded even though the application does not use any
functionality that relies on such functionality. The reason is that in
1.4 JComponent now sets its locale and component orientation during
intialization, and ComponentOrientation loads LocaleData,
LocaleElements, and their friends to obtain the component orientation.
The classes loaded are about 24K on disk. The classes are not loaded
when running the application on 1.3.

The problem should be reproducible with any Swing application.
