After 4422171 is fixed a related problem remains unresolved.
On Solaris/Linux any application which uses TextField or TextArea loads
many datatransfer classes on startup even if they will not be used.
This has a negative impact on startup time and footprint.

Here is a test case to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.TextField;
import java.awt.TextArea;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final TextArea textarea = new TextArea();
        final TextField textfield = new TextField();
        final Frame frame = new Frame();
        final FlowLayout layout = new FlowLayout();
        final WindowAdapter windowAdapter = new WindowAdapter() {
                public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                    frame.dispose();
                }
            };
        frame.setLayout(layout);
        frame.add(textarea);
        frame.add(textfield);
        frame.pack();
        frame.addWindowListener(windowAdapter);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

Run this test with '-verbose:class' option.
Here is an excerpt from output:

This happens since Motif peer classes for TextField/TextArea load
X11Selection
in their static initializers to fix 4354288. This triggers loading of
all other
classes.
