Description
The kluge put in GeneralUtilities.java sid 1.29 on 11/07/02 to work around the
swing bug: 4780174 (REGRESSION: JOptionPane deadlocks Java Web Start in 
Mantis beta) is causing serious regressions:

1.) on Solaris, when run with Java 1.3.1, or 1.4.1  the Certificate dialog is
displayed way too small, so that only half of the information isvisible (not including the buttons). with 1.4.2 it is too big, with extra space on top and bottom.

2.) on any platform, when run with 1.4.2 java the JRE finder dialog
(preferences/java/find) is way too large - consume entire screen on CDE, and 
multiple screens on GNome.

3.) on unix, using jre 1.4.2, the view/add entry dialog is way too big, covering
whole screen in y dimension.

none of these problems occur using the GeneralUtilities.java version 1.28, only
after the change put in trying to work around #4780174

EVALUATION

1.) we need to track when 4780174 is fixed and remove the work-around, this is the preferred fix for this problem.
2.) if we find swing intends to not fix 4780174, we need to develop workaround that works for all dialogs under all supported jre's.
