[lazarus] Asserts and other stuff

[d0hb0y]

I must be missing something.  I dont see how a Java Virtual Machine
replaces a Desktop Environment such as KDE or GNOME.   Now, I'm no Java
programmer so i'll take your word that Java does all that GUI Interface
stuff coolly..  If I am understanding you correctly, you would want to use
java's already implemented GUI interfaces, which are unto themselves and do
not rely on KDE or GNOME.  My question then is, how do you achieve
integration with controls which are configured by KDE, Gnome, or some other
desktop environment -- in other words, shouldn't the controls appear to be
subclassed from the standard controls provided, with the user's color
selection and graphic style?   

Maybe I am missing the point, or my lack of technical understanding behind
desktop environments like KDE and GNOME -- and how they interact with Java.
