I think thats a really good idea.
Since Java2D needs a Display in both cases; you could also use the Robot 
class to screenshot the window and compare that instead of going through 
another layer (png writing).  So tests don't break if png writing fails.

I'd love to see such a huge Java2D coverage automated testsuite.
