Doesn't this contradict with the latest article on SWT graphics? On the 
"Drawing on a Control" section this is the last paragraph:

"The application always get a paint event after the underlying OS has 
drawn the control, so any drawing done to the paint event's GC will be 
shown on top of the control.  There are some exceptions to this, such as 
for a ToolBar where on certain platforms the items are heavyweight 
controls that can't be drawn on top of, however this is not considered 
normal behavior. For general-purpose drawing the control 
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Canvas can be used that is optimized for 
graphics operations."
