More precisely than I said in my other email: SimpleConnection, the 
class in question, uses RenderInfo.xform; AFAIK that works just as 
intended. It worked before when the connections were placed in the box 
coordinate systems. Now it doesn't work anymore for the sole reason 
(AFAIK) that the connections are not placed in the box coordinate 
systems any more. So I don't see how making scaling work in AWT would 
help: placing the connection in the box coordinate system is both 
necessary and sufficient. (It is not, however, trivial, because the 
views, which are placing the connections, don't currently know about the 
box cs-- see both VobVanishingClient and RowColView.)
