Firstly, I am running on Solaris 9 MU4, and my default desktop is Gnome 2 (N.B. not CDE).

I am testing using a tiger internal pre-release (1.5.0-beta2-b36).

When I call java.awt.SystemColor, the values I get returned appear to always be the 'Motif' like system colors. i.e. I get told that 'menu' is a blueish colour and 'menuText' is blackish. Please run the attached testcase to see the colours.

Now, I would want and expect SystemColor, to reflect my current Gnome desktop. Indeed, since bug 490889 has been fixed, the Swing system LAF for Solaris has been changed to be the GTKLookAndFeel when logged into a Gnome desktop.

Surely 'menu'/'menuText' etc in SystemColor should now return the Gnome menu colours etc ?

Note that if I run this testcase on Win2000, the values returned by SystemColor correctly reflect the current Win2000 theme, e.g. shades of brown when 'plum' is selected, shades of blue when 'marine' is selected.
