JDK-4031095 - Provide API to turn *OFF* Default Key-Traversal (Tab Navigation) code
Description

Name: joT67522			Date: 09/09/97


We want to disable special behaviour of the TAB
key in lightweight components (focus).

As far as I can tell, this can only be
done by overriding the postProcessKeyEvent method
in the Window class. Overriding this method forces
us to place this class in the AWT package, because
the method is protected.
