Description
bug# 6668281 is fixed only partly, NPE is still thrown under Vista,
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6668281

The following code throws NPE
            /* on Vista there are more states for sorted columns */
            if (WindowsLookAndFeel.isOnVista()) {
                SortOrder sortOrder = getColumnSortOrder(header.getTable(), column);

Another problem that "tableHeader _must_ work as a stand-alone component",
and we should fix all related bugs and make sure it works

EVALUATION In JDK 7 a part of this problem was fixed with 6523638, this fix is going to be backported to JDK 6

EVALUATION While the main problem was fixed with CR #6788484, I've found several more places where JTableHeader.getTable() is used without checking for null, this must be fixed
