Yes, Tom is right and the checkPermissions in these methods should 
succeed if AllPermission is granted. I should have replied to my 
original mail to clarify this as I also noticed this when generating the 
javadoc diffs after the mail.

In any case, this is really a corner case because I wouldn't expect 
these methods to be invoked by anything outside of AWT (or something 
using AWT).

On the test, then jtreg attempts restore the security manager after each 
test so I don't think we need to add /other here (also it is using a 
security manager already and hasn't caused any issues, at least I'm not 
aware of any).
