JDK 6
6u10 b06Fixed
Description
The new accelerated pipelines (OGL, D3D) don't handle well subclasses
of Color which change its rgb over time (see attached test case).

The Nimbus L&F uses mutable colors for color theming, and
this might cause artifacts.

EVALUATION While Color subclasses are supposed to be immutable unfortunately the API allows for subclassing (and in fact there's a jdk class SystemClass which does change the rgb with device palette changes). We can at least handle the case where the rgb changes from one Graphics instance to another. In BufferedContext.validate() we should improve the check for whether we should update the color in the native context. Currently we just check if the instance of the Paint object is changed.
