http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk6-dev/2010-September/002008.html is
still awaiting review.

Two of the three suggestions on http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk6-dev/2010-August/001954.html
are also still pending (haven't had time to follow them up).

6678385 did go in, so 6853592 could do with also going in.  See:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2010-October/010509.html
6853592: VM test nsk.regression.b4261880 fails with "X Error of failed request: BadWindow" inconsistently.

I'll post webrevs for these three if they sound ok for OpenJDK6 b21.

I was going to look at pushing the XRender/DirectX backport upstream, but I think that
could do with more soak time in IcedTea6.  We'll do that in b22.
