[kepler-dev] Kepler build errors

[Edward A. Lee]

Would any of the listeners in the base class Window do the job?
E.g., Window (and hence Top) have methods

    addPropertyChangeListener, addPropertyChangeListener,
    addWindowFocusListener, addWindowListener,
    addWindowStateListener,

Typical of Java, these are not very well documented, but perhaps
by experimentation you could determine which one might do the job...

In any case, it seems like a listener pattern would be a more
robust design...
