Regression test
test/java/awt/TextArea/UsingWithMouse/SelectionAutoscrollTest.html
fails on KDE. I tested that on latest jdk7 and jdk6u5.

Thread.sleep can be used in the test instead of Util.waitForIdle. This would be slow and/or not reliable though.

Problem is with regtesthelpers.Util.waitForIdle. On KDE it results in sun.awt.SunToolkit$InfiniteLoop exception, thrown from sun.awt.SunToolkit.realSync. The test works fine on Gnome on either Solaris or Linux.

Exception doesn't happen on every invocation of waitForIdle, but happens stabily in the test mentioned. Placing Thread.sleep before Util.waitForIdle doesn't help.

Another problem is, that mouse is not released if test crashes there (robot.mouseRelease is not placed inside "finally" block).
