This is a rewrite of a similar fix I made:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/awt-dev/2008-May/000248.html
It fixes some issues with MetaCity and solves some TCK failures.

It has been in IcedTea for a long time.
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6/file/tip/patches/icedtea-override-redirect-metacity.patch

The difference with the IcedTea patch rewrite is discussed here:
