The current fix does almost that with a few exceptions. Could you please 
describe at what exact cases promoting the isValidateRoot() to the 
Component instead of the Container might help? Any concrete existing 
methods/examples? Unfortunately I hardly see any, but maybe it's just me...

Also, I would still like to understand how making the Window/Applet 
class a validate root might harm, so I would kindly ask you to describe 
a hypothetical case, please.
