The source code JButtonDemo.java comes from the Java Swing Tutorial. It is
attached. The problem is that ALT-E is not serving as a mnemonic for the
rightmost button. The problem occurs on Windows 2000 and Sparc/Solaris 8.
This is a regression, because the tutorial works with JDK 1.3.1.

Copy ButtonDemo.java into your current working directory. Make a subdirectory
called "images". Copy right.gif, left.gif, and middle.gif into images.
Compile ButtonDemo.java and run it with java.

Once you load ButtonDemo.class you will see a window. Make sure the
ButtonDemo window has focus. Type ALT-M and verify that the middle button
is listening. Type ALT-D to disable the middle button. Typing ALT-E
should re-enable the middle button but does not.
