        The Javadoc descriptions for AWTError vs. InternalError, and the fact that only AWTError is mentioned in getDefaultToolkit Javadoc, would lead me to believe that AWTError would be thrown in case the JVM could not initialize AWT due to an unusable X11 display reference. (Or at least that HeadlessToolkit would be used.)
