Yeah, don't use the AWT on the server :-).

Seriously, the Motif AWT is obnoxiously ill-behaved and is subject to
aborts, hangs, and unpredictable behavior.  Running the GUI on the
client side and everything else on the server is a much better
configuration.  We don't actually support the AWT, and I'm
seriously considering dropping it altogether in JDK 1.2.

The server side solution for AWT/JFC may improve in the future,
but I can't talk about that.

If you still want to try this, I suggest setting a global nmdebug
breakpoint at trap_handler, and getting a stack trace of the native
mode stack at the time the trap is hit.  I can walk you through this
if you're unfamiliar with how it works.  Send me the stack trace
and I may be able to tell you why it aborted.
